Keeping You Informed
It is a beautiful sunny day here in northern Illinois. My husband and I returned from a trip lasting three weeks to the Philippines. We got home last Wednesday just in time for Good Friday and Easter. Our home is a disaster zone. We moved in about one week before we left on our trip. We bought our house as a repo and it needs some work. Today my dear husband is working on installing our kitchen cabinets. They came the day before yesterday. A sweet man in our congregation is here to help him and they will have a few hours to work before we leave to go and visit our daughter-in-law and son and grand-daughters in Michigan. My husband just started pastoring here in Illinois the first of October. He had pastored in Michigan for about 13 years and for about 11 in Ohio. The folks in our new church have gone over board making us welcome and helping us adjust to our new life here. There are some other homeschool families in our church.
It has been difficult to have traditional schooling since our move but we hope to get on course soon. Yesterday a group of workers came and cut down a tree in our yard. That was certainly a learning experience for us all. Our son, Seth took about 200 pictures of the whole thing.
Jim (my husband) and I will be putting together a DVD and notebook to track our experience in the Philippines. Our daughter Chelsie is presently on a missions trip in Cambodia with YWAM. We know we will all learn a lot from this experience as well. Chel wrote and suggested that we study the history of Cambodia. We will get started right away. This summer our son Jesse will be traveling to China with YWAM and I suspect we will learn a lot from his trip as well.
So, school is not what it once was but we are certainly blessed by all these mission trips and adventures that life keeps throwing us.
We will try to keep you all posted as to our progress.
Blessings,
The Evans' Family
