Celebration
It has been over six months since I have received my last chemotherapy, and that is reason to celebrate! One of the things I have learned about is the importance of celebrating how God is working in our lives. Therefore, as God has been working in my life, I feel the need to celebrate that. My family is planning on having a celebration Sunday (7/30/06) night at 6:00 at Washington Mennonite Church. We will have a thanksgiving service and homemade ice cream. Ultimately, we are going to celebrate and you are invited to come. If you can’t make it, help me give thanks by thanking God for his work in my life.
Additionally, my family just got back from vacation. Our final destination was Maine, but we also stopped to see my Dad’s family who live in Ohio on the way to Maine, and on the way back home. The most fun part of being in Maine for me was catching lobsters from the ocean. I also discovered that eating lobsters is a lot of work, but they do taste great. It was also a lot of fun to spend time with my Grandparents and other relatives who live in Ohio. We don’t get to see them very often, so it is always nice when we can. And it just hit me that in New Hampshire I saw a relative for the first time as one of my cousins had a baby fairly recently.
I also will be going back to the hospital soon for more tests. The seventh of August I will be receiving an MRI and a CT scan. These are the tests to see how the inside of my body is doing. So I would appreciate your prayers as I go through this. God is at work in my life, and I know God will continue to always be with me. I will then also be going back to the hospital the ninth of August for my neurological work. This will help me know what I will need to help me make it through college with a fair amount of help for my new reading disability. Well, I guess it is almost a year now that I haven’t been able to read well, but it still feels new to me.
May Christ be with us all as we walk through life

Good morning, Nathan,
I would love to join you in your celebration this eveing but don't think I will make it to IA in time. Have a blessed time and thank you for sharing this update with us. My Christ continue to hold you in the palm of his hand. Sharon
Nathan,
We rejoice with you on this good news and would have loved to have been able to celebrate with you. This morning I was talking with a former missionary couple and they commented how many cultures find reasons to celebrate many things. Even though they have much less than us by way of material possessions, they often notice God's provision and celebrate it. You've learned such a valuable lesson at a young age!
Greetings to your wonderful parents!
With joy and celebration!
