The Blue Bar

So a few of you have been asking what the blue bar to the right is for and I thought I spend a brief moment explaining it to anyone who is reading this blog. Essentially, it is a progress bar to inform anyone who is supporting us towards missions, whether financially or through prayer, so that they can know how close we are to our goal of going to MTC (Missionary Training Center) with NTM. It is a 2 year program and since we aren't allowed to work off campus except in very unique circumstances, we need to have all our money together before we go there or at least have a steady stream of income throughout our time there from supporters like you. It is our goal to become involved in foreign missions and invest in reaching an unreached tribe with the Gospel. Whether this is through directly teaching them, doing translation work, or being involved through support roles, it is our goal to get involved in any way God would have us to.
As of right now, I haven't really been updating it because we haven't been able to set up a savings account specifically for this purpose yet. Once we begin our internship with NTBI after the summer, we will be in a more stable situation so as to begin systematically saving. Please keep us in your prayers as we work towards what we believe God is calling us to and if you feel led to contribute to what God is doing in our lives, please email us at: olivia_nfla@yahoo.com or richardreimer17@gmail.com. Thank you and God bless!

March

Here’s another update from the Reimers! This month went by pretty quickly because lots happened, at least with Tannin. On the 1^st, our little Tan-Man rolled from his back to his stomach. That was quite a milestone. And then, after my brother Brenton and my grandpa Reimer had their birthdays 12^th, he decided to roll from his stomach to his back, but not before pushing forward for the first time in his walker! By the end of the month, he was running everyone in his walker, trying to get toys, come to mommy and daddy, and tell us he wanted out.

Weather-wise, things started warming up around here in Wisconsin, and so we brought Tannin to his first park. He loved it! He especially liked the swings and slides, smiling and giggling away. Pretty much all the snow was gone by the second or third week in.

In school, we began a class on public speaking, and did our first speech, sharing what God had taught us here at NTBI. It was a good exercise to see God’s hand working in our lives, not only sustaining us but teaching us through our friendships, trials, and dependence on Him.

Our niece Jayda turned 1 on the 24^th, hitting a major milestone for her. And then on the 27^th we celebrated our friend Tim’s birthday at Oscar’s. It was the first time I had ever been there, so it was good to branch out and try new things. I still miss Tim Horton’s though, lol.

Well, that’s it. There may have been more, but they elude us at the moment. Perhaps we’ll update this post if we think of anything else. Over and out. J
