Mad recap of spring and transition to a new summer schedule:
After visiting, applying, and being accepted into Anderson, Huntington, and Taylor University, David has decided to attend Huntington University in the fall to pursue studies in Computer Science. Glad that decision is made and we are at peace about it. His graduation and open house were both on May 19th, and we enjoyed the full day celebrating with him.
Thank you to everyone who came out and sent cards to celebrate with him. God is gracious and upon the heels of graduating on May 19th, he began work today as a picker/packer/shipper for Coast Distribution, here in Elkhart. It is warehouse type job for an RV company. So glad the RV business has picked up and praise God for summer employment!
Speaking of summer employment, Johnny is comfortably settled in his job at Kroger, which has been giving him overtime hours, as the president of the company is visiting the store some time this week. Yikes! I hope they're ready. The store was in mass confusion the last week as it has been undergoing total reorganization.
Anina also graduated from eighth grade on May 19th, and we have settled on her course for the fall, her first year in high school. She is an excellent student and gets done with her work very promptly (perhaps occasionally, too promptly). She has been always a cheerful helper and we appreciate her help with all that entails hosting interns and volunteers at our house.
Beginning today, we will have our summer intern through the middle of August. Hosting is usually a great time---just like having another kid at home, really. So pray for our vehicle-challenged home---there are 4 people who need to get around to fulltime (or more) jobs and not enough vehicles to do so. :)
Elizabeth and Peter are doing well. Both are working hard and serving the Lord at Lansing Bible Church. We see them more than we thought we would, despite the long drives. It is rewarding to see your adult child doing well, being responsible, and serving the Lord. It makes a parent feel full-hearted, indeed.
We are doing well. John is busy. [Jean will be chauffering... :)]
