Hafa adai from Guam! We have some good news!

• The sale of our Guam condo was completed on Friday. The keys were transferred and the money was deposited in our bank account. Done deal. We're now homeless and grateful.

• We leave for the States at about 4 a.m., Tuesday. We fly to Tokyo, then Dallas, and then on to Phoenix -- arriving at about 11 a.m., Tuesday in Arizona.

• Our Arizona phone number is 602-903-5085.

• We'll be staying with Brad's brother Gary and his wife Joy until we get situated.
Our temporary Arizona mailing address is:
1416 E Westchester Dr
Tempe AZ 85283

• We are planning on attending the annual meeting of the Evangelical Covenant Church in Portland, Oregon, June 25-27.

• We're grateful for all who are continuing to provide financial support this summer as we transition back into Stateside ministry. We'll have more detail about what that is going to look like as the specifics come into focus.

• These have been a tremendous three years and we're grateful for:

the opportunity to serve as Covenant Project Missionaries (something that we would recommend -- lots of opportunities out there!)...

the support and encouragement of the Evangelical Covenant Church Department of World Mission and in particular the Asia regional coordinators. Dave & Ronna Husby have done a fantastic job of caring for us...

the opportunity to be a part of what God is doing through the work of Pacific Islands Bible College...

Dave (PIBC president) and Joyce Owen and all the people at PIBC with whom we've been working...

the students at PIBC -- relationships that will be with us for the rest of our lives...

the ongoing connection that we'll have with PIBC -- perhaps teaching some classes by distance education in the near future...

the opportunity to be a part of what God is doing through the Lutheran Church of Guam -- great people and ministry...

Pastor Jeff and Mary Johnson from LCG -- from whom we've learned a lot, felt loved, and with whom we will undoubtedly continue to work in the future...

our children and extended families -- who adjusted to our Stateside absence and have been supportive. Kent was even able to volunteer a semester at PIBC as an English teacher...

all of you who have prayed for us and supported us financially so we could contribute to the lives of our students and the churches of the Western Pacific. There is no way that we can adequately express our gratitude for your faithfulness.

• We look forward to reconnecting with you all -- soon!
