From Kevin and Julie A. (Berry) Friesen (10/10/07)
We have some very exciting news. Julie is expecting twins, due in March. This was such a blessing from the Lord because we'd been trying for awhile. We can't wait to see them and hold them. We also celebrated our three year anniversary in July and are still living in Abbotsford, B.C. I am working as a carpenter, and am nearly done with my apprenticeship, after which, I'll be a Journeyman in carpentry. Julie got permanent residence in Canada in June of 2006 and has been working as a nanny since Sept. 2006 for a very nice family. After the twins are born, she will be a stay at home mom. That's about it from us!

From Josh and Chrystal Klassen:
Hi everyone! Well, in case yu did not know, Josh and I tied the knot
on August 2, 2003...this leads me to our next biggest announcement...
 we are expecting a beautiful baby on September 18, 2006! We are both very excited and Josh is excited to have the extra help around the farm (I have to  remind him that it will be a few years before the baby will be able to drive a tractor)! We would love to hear from you and what God is doing in your life! Until then, God bless!

From Julie A. Berry:
Hey everyone! Well I am here at Columbia Int'l University (CIU) in South Carolina, and I love it here! The classes are great, the teachers are great, and the people are great. The Lord has taught me a lot while I've been here. Things are busy, but it's good. I'm working at The Olive Garden (LOTS of us CIU'ers work there!) so I can be just like Dave and Matt.. ;) I'm a hostess. Anyways, just thought I would say hello. Hope all is well.

From Vin Thomas:

Praise the Lord for all the opportunities He gave me.

From Gina Conklin:
Hey there everyone! I am no longer at CIU, but I still live in Columbia. I was only at CIU for a semester, now I feel that God is leading me in another direction. I am now working at a daycare center and am the Head Teacher in the toddler dept. Hopefully this summer I will start attending Beauty School and be a hair dresser:) Well I hope you are all doing well! Giners
