December 2008
It’s hard to believe that it’s been six and a half months since we said
our vows on June 7th and now it’s time to enjoy our first Christmas as a
married couple! We love being married and so far it’s been a really smooth
and fun adjustment. We spent Thanksgiving with Deric’s family in South
Dakota and we’ll spend Christmas with Rebecca’s parents and youngest
brother (Daniel) in Phoenix. We’re looking forward to spending a week
relaxing in the warm weather!
We finished up our final semester at Denver Seminary and graduated
on December 15th . Deric received his Masters of Divinity and Rebecca
received her Masters of Arts in Christian Studies. We were blessed to have
our parents and four grandparents with us to celebrate and reflect upon
God’s faithfulness. We know it is only by His grace and provision that we
were able to attend and complete seminary.
Speaking of the Lord’s provision, He has blessed both of us with jobs
beyond our expectations. For the next two years—to gain adequate
experience for Army Chaplaincy—we will both be working part-time at Living
Water Bible Fellowship, a Baptist church in the small town of Alamosa, CO.
Deric will be a pastoral intern and Rebecca will be the Director of Christian
Education (specifically working with Children’s Ministries). Lord willing, we
will move down to Alamosa (four hours southwest of
Denver) the third weekend of January. (We’ll be sure
to send out an email update with our new mailing
address.) Although it will be sad to leave Denver, we
are so thankful and excited for the opportunity to work
in ministry together! We think it will be quite the
adventure. :)
From our home to yours, we wish you a very
Merry Christmas
and Happy New Year!
Love,
Deric & Rebecca Sneller
