Anderson Update Christmas Edition

 

We hope your Christmas is filled with joy, blessing, and knowledge of our Savior.     M • Micah had a space day at Purdue University and started to learn to play handbells. • Marley Marie was born in March to David and Dominique. David continues to develop software in Central Illinois. E • Elizabeth and Peter homeschool the kids and attend and serve at Lansing Bible, our sending church. • Eleanor is taking piano lessons and is learning to crochet. R • Recovery from breast cancer surgery and radiation treatment both went pretty smoothly for Jean. R • Roles at SonSet Solutions continue for John (software developer, chaplain, personnel) and Jean (donation services, communications). It is busy. Y • Yard work kept John busy, too (as if he wasn’t busy enough!) as this was the year of the acorns.     C • Chicago, Illinois is where Tyler and Anina are now residing. They just moved in December. We will miss them in Elkhart but will have a good reason to visit one of our favorite cities. H • Hubbard Hill is where John’s parents live in assisted living. They are doing well there. • Hom family is getting more spread out. Jean’s nephew, Derek’s family, all live in Tennessee, but Jean’s three nieces live in Illinois still. R • Reunions are great—even mini ones (the one where the college friends come to see you when it doesn’t work out to meet at Wheaton for your 40th). I • IUSB graduation for Tyler, who graduated with a bachelor's degree in August. S • SonSet Solutions has assisted 108 ministries in 48 countries via equipment, service, consultation, training, and partnership development in the first three quarters of 2023. T • Thankmas happened because John (Robert) was able to get thanksgiving off from Lee Richardson Zoo (Kansas) where he is a lead animal keeper. We were all glad to be together. M • McCoy Memorial is our church in Elkhart. Our senior pastor retired; our interim pastor’s name is Mike. A • Abel is a big three-year-old boy. He is all boy and is a lot of fun. • Aunt Penny continues to live in Elkhart and is a great help to us all. S • Sovereign Savior came to earth to pay the price for our sin so we may find salvation in Him.       Solar Ministry Toolkits are great tools for Ukraine!   SonSet® radios continue to reach the very remote.
