| Hello Friends!
We are back in Austin! The
wedding was wonderful, and it was so good to have so
many of you there with us. Jason and I kept saying how
much we really enjoyed it (and are glad it’s not just
a big blur). It was awesome for all of us to worship
together, and we are so happy to now be husband and
wife!
Alaska was awesome…cool weather, tons of light, sea
otters, and much more. Cheryl and Sed, our gracious
hosts, completely fixed us up. We stayed in their
apartment, ate the food they stocked for us, and drove
their car! As many of you know, Cheryl made us an
amazing quilt for a wedding present with messages from
lots of our friends and family as well as scripture
stitched into it. We are truly blessed.
In Anchorage, we mostly hiked, biked, and just
enjoyed the weather and daylight for hours on end.
We also took a half-day cruise out of Seward which
was beautiful. God blessed us with lots of rainbows too.
When Cheryl and Sed joined us, we headed to Homer
where we spent the weekend in a seaside cottage. We went
kayaking in the bay one afternoon and got to see a
couple of sea otters up close and personal…They are
adorable!
Coming back, Jason and I were afraid we were going to
be bumped off of our flight because it was overbooked,
but God was so faithful and we were actually put in
first class…lots of great food and leg room! We got
back into Austin this past Tuesday morning (July the 19th),
opened tons of great wedding presents, and then set to
work on the apartment. It was a little overwhelming at
first, but now things are coming together.
On August, 31st, we will be heading back
to Tyler, TX to do a year long School of the Bible with
Youth With a Mission. We’ll be doing an in depth study
of major doctrines of the whole Bible as well as
learning some Greek. We feel this is the next step God
has called us to in order to prepare us for ministry.
During the school, we will have two one-week outreaches
in America (teaching at a church and shadowing a pastor
to learn more about full time ministry). Once our
classes end in May, we will be going on a month long
foreign outreach to teach what we have learned (possibly
at other Schools of the Bible). We are excited to take
this next step in God’s calling on our lives.
Our new address in Tyler will be:
Jason and Beth McKenney
961 C.R. 1143
Tyler, TX 75704
(512) 699-0784 ~ Jason
(512) 757-3867 ~ Beth
If you would like to contact us about support, we
would love to talk with you!
Much love in Christ,
Beth and Jason
P.S. Good shots to share!
11:00 p.m. in Alaska at Westchester
Lagoon!
