They moved to Nacogdoches in 2010 and settled in to an entirely new way of life as a family and followers of Jesus. Josh has worked for Texas Farm Products Nutrition since 2010 and Emily is a part-time accountant at Ark Pharmacies. Josh and Emily are parents to Whit and they serve as Mosaic Community Group leaders as well as any other role that comes their way.
