New Teenager, New House, New Van, New Glasses and More

Yes, it has been too long since my last post and now I have to catch up on all the new news that has gone on in the Knouf Family. First of all, we have a new teen in the house, Justina Marie Knouf turned 13 on March 27! We celebrated her birthday on the 23rd, she had a party at the park and then had a couple of friends stay the night in the trailer, while dad and the kids went and spent the night at the Nolanites. This just happened to be the very last night that we were going to sleep in our trailer. The next morning we had to rush around and head down to pick up our new motor home. It is a Newmar, All star and it is wonderful! We had been praying that the Lord would provide something for us by the end of March and He did just that! The man that was working on our Loan said that We must have someone else working on our behalf , b/c he has not seen too many loans go through with no money down and No proof of income. God is so good, isn't He. He also provided a 2005 15 pass Chevy express van for us and we were able to get it tow ready so we have it with us, What a blessing it is also! We traded in the Excursion and the trailer for the Motor Home, so we needed a vehicle.

Hailey Noel is now wearing specs full time, we all went in for a routine eye exam and found out that she need glasses, the Doctor was surprised that she wasn't complaining of head aches because of how bad her eyes were. Nolan also needed glasses for reading.



Nolan had the privilege of flying up and spending his spring break with Grandma and Grandpa Nolan. He had a great time and loved every minute. It was his first time to fly and he did it alone, but had a great time. It was in honor of his birthday which is April 3oth.

We headed out for Salt Lake City, Utah for a Home Missions Conference and had the privilege of seeing our nephew Joey Knouf Graduate with a Masters Degree from Salt Lake Baptist College. It was a great meeting, we were so blessed to get to be a part of it. One Man and a teenager surrendered to full time service.


This Sunday we were at Gateway Baptist Church in Las Vegas, NV and had another wonderful meeting. God's power was upon the services and another man came forward to give his life for full time service. Jon has been able to go out door knocking with the Pastor here and they won two people to the Lord. Wednesday we were in Mountain View Baptist which is also in Las Vegas we met this pastor at the Home Missions Conference. We are so thrilled and humbled that God continues to use us. It is such a Joy to get to do what we are doing and we count it a privilege and honor to get to serve in this capacity. We head out tomorrow for Springville, Utah and will continue in Utah for the remainder of the month and then we head for Idaho in May. We covet your prayers and we also want you to know that we Love you all. One prayer request is that because we are meeting so many different people we are also meeting so many different viruses, please pray that we stay well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well that is every thing in a nut shell. For some reason I cannot post any pictures so I will hopefully have some time to try tomorrow!

My Five Year Journey Finding time to create a post seems to be my struggle these days. I have wanted to sit down and create so many different post for my neglected blog but the business of life prevents me! Five years ago, I accepted a position at Hope Academy Charter as a Teacher. My children had been  home-schooled up to that point, and they were excited to come to work with Mom and get to be in a “real” school as they put it. As we drove up to this cute little campus with a bell tower, I said to the kids in the car, “One day, I am going to be the Principal of this place”. Lol  Well that mission was basically accomplished! (If you read this post you will get the long version) Fast forward five years later and what feels like 20 years of stress, I decided to make a career jump and go back to what I have always been meant to do. Being a Wife and Mom! How is that a career jump?  I am working from home as an Education Specialist for Summit Academy Charter .We be...

Our Precious “Joy Girl” One Year ago, we had the privilege and honor to welcome yet another of God’s special blessings into our lives and home. Mia Joy Knouf has been such a “Joy” to our family and it has been so much fun seeing all the changes she has gone through this past year. It is hard to believe that I had such a hard time nursing her and now would you believe that is about all she wants, no pacifier or bottle! (that is kind of rough on Mom) We were also concerned about her weight and now we are calling her “chubby” ;0) God is so good! It is amazing how much a child learns in the first year of life, she is right on the verge of walking, she has taken a couple steps, She stands up in the middle of the floor while holding her baby doll but seems to be content with that. Speaking of Baby Dolls she is ALL girl, She loves them! But then she also likes to wrestle with Logan and Levi and they love it too! Of course all her brothers and sisters love playing with her, they are so amazed ...

Knouf Family Christmas Newsletter November 22, 2017 God has been so good to our family! It has been a long time! Traditionally, I use to write a Christmas letter, however I have failed to do so for a few years now. Part of the reason has been the change of how social media seems to keep us all connected more than ever. Truthfully the main reason has been that I have been too busy to even take time to write such a letter. Rewind back to 2014, Jon and I were going through a time of soul searching with our finances. As many of you know,  we have always had a strong belief that staying home with the children was where I should be. Pami was getting older and having children that could now help with her care it was decided that I needed to help with the financial support of maintaining a family of our size. We began to seek the Lord for guidance in this decision, ironically while I began working with my parents at creating a cleaning business of our own, we would listen to Dav...
