Busy week...


Another week of fall passed from future / present into history.

Sunday we shared a brief update at Corner Bible Church where Mom and Eli attend, and we join them when not on the road.

Monday we were blessed to have our Global Partner's partners, who serve on the member care team stop in for a short visit and supper!

Other parts of the week besides school included: 

"Bricks" Lego show mid October.

Eli job interview and accepting the position at Hytech as a process engineer. Celebration time!

Fritz transitioning from pre-teen to an official teenager. More celebration!

A visit to the lawyer with Mom, my brother, sister-in-law, and Cory.

Some fall cleaning, organizing and preparing for winter weather.


Continued working away on my medical continuing education credits.

I visited both the dentist and eye doctor.

We  enjoyed Fall Fest Saturday night at church and a chance to speak and reconnect at Sonlight Fellowship in South Bend on Sunday.

Even drove by the old South Bend house where we lived as I completed my family practice residency training at St. Joseph Hospital. 

The shingles that both our sets of parents helped to put in place remain on the roof.

 Cory sighed as he saw the corkscrew willow tree he planted now towering over the house. A reminder to give mental grace to whoever planted the Siberian elms or let them grow in the back yard.


(Cory writing: if you have time for an entertaining video about Siberian Elm, I enjoyed this one and learned today that the tree is edible! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lK7vaOPUQ8I )

This week Eli will start work on Tuesday.

Fritz and I continue with our school studies, already closing in on 1/3 of the year complete.

We saw our first snow flakes today with more predicted and freezing temperatures tomorrow.

We thank the Lord for prayers for Anna as well. She's found a place to live on campus when she returns in January and is working on figuring out classes for next term while concentrating on finishing her London term well.

We continue to pray for Cory's Zambian work permit application, waiting for the leadership to get things arranged.
