Married

Marriage,
What a crazy past month!
Culture readjustment returning to the US
Wedding!
Marriage!
Honeymoon!
Support Raising!
God has been guiding us along a beautiful path these past weeks. Prepar
ed or not, it has all been in His timing. He is good and has given good gifts to us His children.
The wedding was gorgeous. The folks in Jackson did a fantastic job. As I told them, it was "more than we could have ever imagined!" Check out Alaina's facebook for more pictures.
Thanks you all for coming and making it
the most special day of our lives. Alaina and I have waited a looooong time and today I must say it was very much worth it.
The honey moon in Cancun was also more than we could have imagined. Lots of sun and a beautiful resort. He is too good to us!
We are in the process of raising support to go back to the mission field of Quito, Ecuador. If you would like to see us this summer or hear from us, send us your email: lorenholland@gmail.com or give us a call: 601-572-5176. We will be covering the greater portion of the United States in faith that God will provide along the way. Next week we will be in Texas celebrating 4th of July with Alaina's family. From there we will be on our way to Colorado for a few weeks to visit friends and family on Loren's side. Though things are pending at this point, we are hoping to visit a ministry called heartsupport.com in Las Vegas, NV after Colorado. They provide an online community where people can seek
help from addictions, eating disorders, cutting, etc. We hope build some relationships as well as ask some questions about how we can do better at providing a safe place for students to share their struggles where we are working in Ecuador. Oregon and Washington will be our next stop where Alaina's father is from and worked as a pastor for several years. Then, its back across the country to Chicago where we will be in training with International Teams mid-September.
It will be a fun summer and an eventful Fall.
Please let us know if you are anywhere near
the locations mentioned or even in between. Please pray as Alaina and I present our ministry to others and continue to do the work of missionaries even here in th
e US. Thank you all so much.
-Loren and Alaina Holland
