Hey all

I thought I'd take the chance to give a quick update on the life of the J Nalywaiko's. Jaden is having a blast in 1st grade I have lunch with her at school and it's great to meet all her little friends and see her interact with all the other kids. Shanna got an amazing job at a preschool working full-time as a lead teacher so she will love that! Addison is able to go with her and really have a structured environment....Shanna says "It's no joke, her class is hard core with stations and everything"....well that might not been exactly how she said it but you get the point. Well As some of you know we moved out of the dark clouds of Washington (dark in more ways then one) and into the Sunshine of Sparks, Nevada. It was truly a blessing to be able to step into an awesome church www.scffamily.net and a youth ministry that was alive and growing and unrestricted. I'm the Director of Student ministries. http://www.scffamily.net/main/en/content/page?p=Jonathan%20Nalywaiko It's been amazing to have such creative freedom and resources. We had a our dodge ball tournament so that was great. Tomarrow I leave for our first on Four mission trips this one is with the Middle Schoolers to inner city San Francisco. I've been training them to love others in uniqu ways and this is the final "field test". I also recently found out that the community center has a dodge ball league starting end of January so I'm trying to get a team for that it's an adult only thing so that will be a great way to meet other people in our community. My latest thing as you can see from some of my videos is big wheelin, I'm working on a fund raising event and of course I have to test the big wheels to make sure they are safe for students right? Anyway check it out. I have a new Army Reserve Unit that I'm apart of so it's nice to be able to serve my country still in that way. Last Sunday I preached at the Sunday service so that was a great thing to stretch myself out of just the youth. Last Monday we had our Monday night kick off and got tons of new students so I was excited about that as well as my Student leadership team. They worked really hard to make our year kick off fun and exciting. Shanna and I are really enjoying other aspects of the church as well, we went to a couple connect class for couples to learn together and have fun...well the newlywed game night, and for those of you who don't know were pretty good at the game cause we used to practice when we had nothing else to do. Anyways we are excited about what God is doing here at the church and in the youth ministry and culture of our area. I have been well received here at a new church family. I want to encourage all of you that read this, no matter how hard we try to follow the will of God people are sinful and sometimes the plans get rearranged but God will always bless you if your obedient to his will for your life!! I love where I'm at and the amazing feeling of being appreciated is great! So serve him in all you do and don't give up!! My parents are pretty excited to have us so close as well. So if you want to check out what else we have going on here are mine and Shanna's blog addresses and face book info if you want out phone or address e-mail me and I can hook you up jonathann@scf.net Jonathan Blog ------> http://www.nalywaiko.blogspot.com/ Shanna Blog -------> http://4shanna.blogspot.com/ Jonathan facebook -----> http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=677830603&ref=profile Shanna facebook ----> http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=677830603&ref=profile#/profile.php?id=1635220211 Thanks all, Jonathan Nalywaiko
