We are still revelling in the wonderful weekend we had. Our family attended this particular church in Lincoln Park for about 3 years. When we left, Joanna was only 3 years old.

Now, Joanna is 16, Bethany is 19, and Philip is 21.

What's next for us? Well, Thursday Doug and I teach a Good News Club at Grand River Elementary school and Joanna helps at a club at Gier Park Elementary school, both in Lansing. Philip and Bethany are almost finished with their semester of classes, and both are working part-time. Saturday, Joanna has State Band Festival, and one of my nephews is getting married. MOnday evening, after band, Doug and I will be leaving for North Carolina. We will drive all night, arrive at my sister's house in Kings Mt., NC mid-day on Tuesday and spend the night with her, then travel on to Asheville, to Ridgecrest Conference center for a CEF International Conference. Monday, May 5, we will start home, spending the night with friends from Detroit who now live in Springfield, OH. Joanna will be staying with a friend that is also homeschooled. Bethany and Philip will stay home so they can go to school and work.

Please pray for Philip and Bethany. This time of year is stressful for all college students, as they finish up the school year. Both have many things to complete before the end of the semester. Both are struggling with issues with close friends.

Thanks.
