Hit the ground running

Praise the Lord! We made it out to Illinois safe and sound.

Our trip was so full of blessings. All our stuff got packed by other people, which made the packing so quick! We then got to stay with a family from our church, the McCoys, who were such gracious hosts, even though we asked if we could stay there only a few hours before we arrived at the door. They truly were an example of hospitality.

We drove to Albuquerque on the 6th, had a barbecue with my family and some friends, and my parents put us up for the night.

The next day we drove 14 hours to Paola Kansas, and were warmly welcomed by Sherri and Matt Jones. Sherri made us dinner, told us about what the Lord is doing in her family, and gave us a place to sleep. She got up early to make us breakfast too!

We made it to Glenview Ill the third day. Our landlords (?) the Holms had dinner ready, and had our fridge filled with food! Will helped Andrew moved some of the big stuff into the basement that night.

The next day my parents arrived early in the morning to help us unpack, arrange, assemble, and adjust. We got all the big stuff in palce by the end of Thursday.

All this to say, Praise God! He made our trip so smooth and blessed us with hospitality from the church the whole way through. How sweet to feel the Father's care and provision through His people!

My parents took us to a Cubs game on Friday! Go Cubbies! Unfortunately, we lost.

So, we are now looking for a car and getting around on our bikes in the beautiful summer weather. We will start summer school Monday, and I will start my job search then as well (Lord willing). There are still many things for us to trust the Lord with, and to allow Him to lead and provide. Thanks to everyone who prayed for us, and please continue to do so. Also feel free to email or skype us if you would like to!
