We have had an eventful summer at home with family and friends and enjoyed every minute of it, visiting people in Arkansas, Mississippi, and California. There were several people we didn’t get the chance to see and we are sad for that. Our time always goes so much faster that we can imagine. It was a good time, however, with those we were able to see. We always love getting to catch up with people and relax a little before getting into another year at the Bridge House.

Our youth at the Bridge are doing great. This group of 4 young ladies has been a lot of fun for us. Their constant smiles and fun personalities have been awesome to have around. As all of the older Bridge House youth moved out and we started fresh with this bunch of girls, it gave us a chance to breath, evaluate each of our roles, and how to best work going forward with a whole new group of dynamic. These girls are truly a blessing for us. Jennifer has especially enjoyed some good girl time with them.The Bridge House has gone through a couple of studies so far this year. We started with Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace videos, then moved into Tommy Nelson’s study of Ecclesiastes “A Life Well Lived”. We are finishing that study now and are preparing to move into the Truth Project’s “Does God Exist”, then onto Peacemaker Ministry’s “The Peacemaking Church”. Please pray with us that God moves in the hearts of our girls as well as in our own. May this next semester be rich with God’s truths and how He longs for us to grow and honor Him in all we do. Pray for God-honoring, encouraging conversations with our youth. May He find us faithful in depending on Him and doing our best to help mold these young ladies into women who seek Him. These years are so crucial for the youth; pray that they willingly become women who seek Him.
Blessings to you all,
Robert and Jennifer Butts
