Thank you so much for your prayers for Alex to find a job. EmploymentHe found a good job with benefits here in Omaha. He started work already. I am sure it was your prayers that helped make that possible. Now his wife Kim, can cut back her nursing job, and work on weekends so they will not need a babysitter. Alex graduated law school and earned his Juris Doctor on December 19, 2008. I am very proud of him for hanging in there and finishing with three children in tow. Alex and Kim are a team effort with work, and school, and children. Your mission of prayer is so important. Thank you again ever so much.

By the Grace of God, my husband had a business card from of another person who, in 2008 had asked if he wanted to sell the business. He called him and ‘yes’ he was still interested in buying it! He made a satisfactory offer which we accepted. The goodness did not stop there; this man and his family are very good and caring people. We could not have had a better, kinder buyer.
