June Update On Our Family

One year ago, our family moved down to Phoenix to start a new endeavor that is now reaching out to Chinese international students. We are settled in and at the end of the month, Mike’s mother will be moving into our home. She’s becoming unable to completely take care of herself and we are glad we can open up a room to her.  Please join us in praying for her especially at this time. It’s hard to make these kind of life changes. We definitely have a house full right now! We don’t often tell you about our kids so we thought you might enjoy getting to know them a little more. 
    Ian, now a Senior has excelled in music and was awarded Outstanding Junior Musician. He can play the drums, bassoon, french  horn, trumpet, violin and piano. He’s turning out to be a leader and has future hopes of being a missionary.
    Talon, a Junior, is very interested in culinary arts and is blessed with his high school offering special courses for this. He cooks quite a bit at home and is definitely gifted at it. He wants to be a chef and he believes that can also be used on the mission field some day.
    Colan, a Freshman, practices on the clarinet and can’t wait to be in high school. He’s made some friends in the neighborhood and volunteers at the local library. 
    Devin is in 6th grade and he plays the trombone. He enjoys swimming and you can usually find him playing games on the computer. He’s taller than Colan and is proud of it.
     Raena has many little girlfriends on our cul-de-sac and loves riding her bike. She got straight A’s all year and she’s in 3rd grade already. 
    We really do appreciate the support you give to our family and our kids fully realize what our purpose is. We thank God daily for your generosity! We also
 want to remind everyone to make checks out to Outreach International.
