HELLO EVERYONE!!!

Just wanted to give a little update on whats happening here at MBI. We are currently holding our board meeting as we speak. We have been busy working with volunteers & ministries and getting ready to launch a BRAND NEW WEBSITE & DATABASE system!

In April, I went home to be a bridesmaid in my friend Laurens wedding, it was absolutely splendid!

I have continued to be an instructor in this years 2014 Firefighter Academy in the Flathead & we come to a close this weekend, teaching them and showing them fire behavior in a structure burn. Should be fun! Last weekend they learned how to fight vehicle fires and cut apart cars with the jaws of life and many other techniques needed to know. The news even came out and did a news story! Check it out: http://www.kaj18.com/videos/volunteer-firefighters-train-in-the-flathead/

I leave on Sunday for Costa Rica for the first phase of training for YWAM Rescue Net!!! I am so excited to start this journey of being involved with an international disaster relief search and rescue team!

GOD STORY OF THE MONTH:

I was told I was going to need to move out of my cabin I was renting because my landlord needed to raise the rent quite significantly for the summer. This left me in a tough place knowing I don’t have hardly any money, and most places around Lakeside are quite spendy. I began praying & praying & praying and letting people know if they knew of any place to rent let me know….. 3 days later I got a phone call from a lovely lady saying they had just bought a house here, but they cant move here for a couple years. They were looking for someone to rent their house and take care of it. Long story short, I have a safe place to live, I am helping them fix it up as time goes on & I just love the family! Total God story! I am so blessed to have met them! The coolest part was they said “Thanks for being an answer to our prayers.”…. Im like….. “THANK YOU FOR BEING AN ANSWER TO MY PRAYERS!!!” In the end it was a reminder, even in tough times, God is hearing our prayers and when one door closes another one opens!

Thanks for everyones prayers! Couldnt do it without you!

Blessings in Abundance!
