Hello all!
Adam here, and I'm very excited because next week is our family mission trip to Chicago! Ella and I will be joining Carissa to serve and help lead a group in ministry. We already know that a homeless lunch ministry and VBS are both on the agenda.
It will be so nice to get to experience a week of work with Carissa. Obviously, she tells me about trips all of the time, but it will be much easier to know and understand her joys and challenges after I've been through them as well. And of course we're very excited for little Ella to serve on her first mission trip. She's already been designated the lead nap taker.
As we prepare to serve, things are developing quickly at my job as well. We found out last week that I will get to broadcast CMU games this fall after all, and I'm very excited for the college reps to still be there. I'll even get to call a game against a Division-I opponent in week one!
God continues to move in our lives, and we see it more every day. Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes!
-Adam

Life Goes On
Hello again from Adam:
I have been doing my best to get Carissa into World Cup fever. I don't think it worked much, but I'll start working on Russia 2018 now! I'm still recovering from yesterday's loss like the rest of the US, but I'll get over it.
Meanwhile, thanks to the generosity of some people at FUMCBA, we get to have our dishwasher replaced sooner than expected! Ours has been out of order for a few weeks, which is a much bigger deal when we're handwashing dishes for the whole family instead of just me. This is a perfect example of the things we can only accomplish through a fully funded ministry. A big thanks to the folks that helped out with that.
We continue to work on the fundraising effort, which finally got underway over the weekend. Continued prayers for courage while we try to raise 1/3 of Carissa's salary would be helpful. For an update on where we're at on the annual goal, or to donate, visit http://www.prayingpelicanmissions.org/donate#support and find Carissa's name in the dropdown box!
Also, we finally get to get away as a family. Carissa, Ella and I will join my family in Colorado next week for a little R&R before Carissa returns to the missions field for the following three weeks. We're looking forward to some quality time before she heads off for her longest time span of the year. On the bright side, we'll be with her for the middle week!
Thanks for reading. God bless!
