Zack & Paige

Meet the Parents

This update is a little late also, but on May 2nd The Stroup family and Portell family became friends. That's right, both of our parents came to Nashville for the weekend for the first time to meet each other. It was so much fun, and they actually like each other!!! We had some great meals together, family game night, Sunday morning worship together, and wedding planning of course. It was amazing to experience two families coming together, just because Zack and I like each other a whole lot. Just so you everyone is the the loop...

Stroup family includes: Jesse, Barbara, Zack, and Amy along with Kevin, Sarah, Preston, and Lincoln Thompson (who were unable to join us for the weekend).

Portell family includes: Doug, Cindy, Paige, Ashley, and Brittany

Happy Birthday Zack!

Well, last week my future husband to be celebrated his 28th year of life. It was quite a party with many of our close friends at Mickey Roos (a Texas BBQ place that takes Zack back to Abliene days). It was a super fun night of country music, that ended with the Stroup family on stage singing "Sweet Home Alabama". It was so good they ask Amy to come back the next week. I'm so grateful that our heavenly father created Zack Stroup on May 8th, 28 years ago.

Battle of the Bands for Slovenia

I have the amazing opportunity to travel to Slovenia this summer for the 3rd time. This will be my 2nd year leading the trip, and its the 2 weeks before Zack's trip to Peru. So, YES, we will not see each other at all in July, but we'll get to start spending the rest of our life together in August. Yeah! My team this year is awesome, they put on a support raising event last Friday and it was so succuessful. We raised over $2,100, had a few hundred people show up, and got to spread the word about the need to make the gospel known to the other side of the world in Slovenia. It was a huge outreach event in our own community as 12 different bands from 7 different schools competed.

The Lord blessed my life by being able to watch 12 people use their gifts and talents to put on a great night that was glorifing to God in so many different ways. Our trip June 30th-July 14th will involve teaching English to Slovenian students. There is only 2% evagelical Christian in this small Eastern European country. Its is a very dark place that needs help spreading the light of our heavenly father. Please keep our Slovenia team and the students we get to share the gospel with in July in your prayers.

More updates to come on this in the next few months.
