I've tried a few times to post pictures from Christmas and the conference and have not had any luck. So sorry that there's no new pictures to view. There hasn't been a lot to report on. We've been working the last few weeks gearing up for the semester which starts on Monday whether we're ready or not :). We've been meeting with our student leaders for Athlete's in Action on campus, and I'm really excited to see what God does with that. In talking with the students, it seems like there's a lot of interest among the athletes they know. We'll keep you posted. We'll also meet with the student leaders for the main movement this weekend. It'll be good to see them after a long break.
We're still very much in the midst of the grieving process and continuing to realize it's not necesarily a "quick" thing. I've been thinking a lot in the last few weeks about the impact Payton had in her short life, and it continues to amaze me. She was a remarkable little thing :).
As campus starts up again, we'll probably have more to update you on, but for the past few weeks, life has been relatively mellow which I've appreciated. We hope you're doing well as the 2007 is in full swing. We'll let you know how the new semester starts out. much love, Aaron and Heather

Heather & Aaron,
You are still in our prayers. Payton was an amazing little girl, who touched so many lives. I am so excited that you have the students and the campus to keep you going and changing lives for God. You guys are amazing!! I hope you have a great start to the new year. God is using you in amazing ways. We love you!

We miss Payton constantly. I am so grateful for the time we had with her, that we were able to hold her, read to her, sing to her. She knew she was loved. Payton taught me so much and I remain mindful of those lessons. I struggled with why God didn't heal her but then you said that this is a fallen world. That helped me realize that in a fallen world, bad things happen but God is with us in the sorrow and works it for His good. That was certainly the case with Payton's life. She truly had an impact on the world. Grief is definitely a process and I'm learning that as the months go by, it doesn't get any easier. We go about our daily lives and then all of a sudden the grief comes out of nowhere and the oddest events can trigger it. I guess the humor is that daddy and I have both "lost it" at the dentist office.
Love you both,
Grandma and Grandpa Minnick
