I'm so excited to be in the house with you today. We're going to bring an awesome word, but I want to kind of give you just a little bit of backstory behind who I am, kind of just the cliff note version of that. so my name's Dan I'm a South Texas native really as far as South as Texas goes and so if you picture the state the the point, I'm like right down there.

The last city, border city, really amazing town, really the Mexican food and the tacos just flow like milk and honey.

I tried making a list of the amount of takerias that we have

and I stopped at around 50

and this is just in one city you guys.

So, amazing little town.

Really last year was just kind of a big year for me because there was this undeniable

calling in my life that God was just calling me to come to the state of Montana.

And in 2016 it was like the first time I'd ever heard of fresh life and I think that's where

the seed was planted and over the years I was in ministry and I was doing what God was calling me to do and this past year it was just so undeniable that God was calling me and so I packed everything in my CRV.

Imagine trying to pack about 32 years of life in just a CRV.

And so I made the trek all the way over here,

about 36 hours, split up into five days and really it just

brought me back to when I gave my life to Jesus in 2014 back in my home church I

was sitting in this area. I don't know what

Pastor Bob was preaching at the time. I just remember bawling and then I

remember just giving my life to Jesus and I in that moment I told God Lord whatever it is that you're calling me to do my answer in advance is yes and so that's how I've been living my life it just just yeses, and I've been able to see God just do the imaginable.

And it's been so amazing, and so I'm so grateful for our pastors, Levi and Jenny,

for allow me the opportunity to share the word with you

Pastor Kyle for just his mentorship in my life and and for all of you for making the

South Texas boy just feel right at home you guys like I'm so grateful for each and every one of

y'all. So we've been in a series of talks that we call make up your mind and it has been so amazing.
