August = Dan the Fire Man

Oh August! This month has had it's share of trials. The first couple weeks we were preparing for Dan to go to Texas and the last two weeks I could not wait for Dan to come home from Texas. What the heck is in Texas you ask? Only the two best fire schools in North America, where they put the men who come as students, through two weeks of intense military style fire training. We are so thankful for all the prayers God answered in those two weeks. The entire time is Texas it was about 110 degrees and Dan was outside in that weather with 70 pounds of fire gear from 8 to 5. As some of you know, Dan he gets migraines from being in the sun, so I was praying that he would get through this time without any headaches. Turns out he did not have one migraine and he did excellent with all his training. He also had to take his final exams and he passed with a 92%! I am so proud of him and his hard work. Thanks to everyone who said a few prayers for Dan, he definetly saw the results. Here are a few pictures of Dan while he was training:
