Big news!
For those of you who I know are thinking it--No, we're not pregnant!! However, we have a very big change coming in our lives. Ryan has accepted a call to Praise Christian Fellowship in Pleasant Valley, Connecticut. We are very excited and very sad. We are both excited about the ministry opportunities at Praise and the position seems perfect for Ryan. However, leaving Bethany here in West Union is heart wrenching. We have grown to love our church family here and will cherish the memories we share with them. We did not come to this decision quickly. We are so comfortable here in West Union but we really felt the Lord calling Ryan to the ministry at Praise. We would appreciate prayer for the next couple of months. The plan is to move at the end of August and there is a lot to be done.

How awesome! We're so happy for you and your news! Always bittersweet in these situations. We will continue to pray for you and all of the work that has to take place.
Wow! Big changes for your little family as you move across the country! We will be praying for you in the months ahead, as we know the feeling of both excitement and also sadness and loss.
Congrats! We will be praying for you guys as you move and for all the changes you will be experiencing. Moving is lots of work but lots of excitement too!
We are so excited for you guys to be moving to Hartland. :-) We will be praying for you as you prepare to move and all that entails and then also as you guys are raising three little ones! Praying that there will be few stresses and that it will be a somewhat smooth transition. I know that Ryan's mom is excited for you guys to come and we are excited because we'll be able to see you guys when we come out to CT. Praying for you!
More exciting days ahead for the Nilsen family! We'll be thinking about you in the coming months as you prepare for this big move!
What is Ryan's job going to be at the Church? Will he be the senior pastor? What size is the congregation? Is it an LB Church?
Wow! I bet you're so excited to be headed closer to some family. I know how valuable extra hands can be once you're outnumbered. Congrats to you guys on the next adventure you'll be starting. We'll pray for you as you pack, move and set up a new house...whew - I'm tired just thinking about it!
Congratulations you guys! We are so happy to hear about your move out east, now we will practically be neighbors, just a trip across on ferry to LI. We will definately come up to visit you sometime! Good luck with the move.
This is very exciting news! Even though we don't see you very often, I think I will miss you even more with you being further away. But, I am glad to know you will be so close to family! That is the best!
