Chicago Update

Hi guys. Some more updates as of a few minute ago!

We got the house locked up for the first two weeks!! We are SO SO excited about this as we will have a place to stay the first two weeks! That would be from the 15th of May to the 31st of May! Praise God!!

And another thing is that some plans have changed a bit. Tony Gonzalez from San Francisco Young Life will be speaking on Friday morning (15th of May) at a men's Bible Study in Chicago and Brett Hersma (my new boss) wants me to be there. The meeting with Tony and these guys is because these guys are interested in the Young Life area and Tony will talk to them about how I will be continuing the legacy that Tony started 23 years ago. Cool! So, my dad and I will be leaving on Tuesday the 12th, and instead of getting to Chicago on Friday, we'll push ourselves and get there on Thursday afternoon. Here's what we'll be doing:

Mon May 11th: Pack the uHaul truck with the help of friends and family
Tues May 12th: My dad and I leave for Chicago (Anna will be staying in SB-read below)
Tues May 12th: We get to Green River, Utah after an 11+ hour drive
Wed May 13th: Leave early and arrive in Omaha, NE after a 12.5+ hour drive
Th May 14th: Leave early and arrive in Chicago in the afternoon!
Fri May 15th: Meet for 7:30 am meeting downtown
Sat May 16th: Pick Anna up from airport

So, I mentioned that Anna will be staying in Santa Barbara for a while longer. That's great news to us! The dentist that she works for loves her so much and needs her so much that he is willing to pay for Anna's flight out to Chicago just to have her stay for 2 more weeks! He's such a great guy! If you don't have a dentist, check this guy out as he is one of the top dentists in Santa Barbara! His name is Doctor Thomas Blake, DDS. Anna staying a couple of extra weeks also means that we will be able to have a little more money in the bank than we expected!! Praise God!

So, please be praying for all those things as well as what's below.

A few people from our church have SO GRACIOUSLY taken on the challenge of doing a fundraiser for us! Miguel and Nancy Cornejo have volunteered to head up the planning for a soccer tournament that we are hosting in the the brand new synthetic soccer field in Girsh Park. This is great as it will also help up get more money for the move :)

One last update is that Anna has a phone interview scheduled soon! So we'll keep you updated on this as well :)

Thanks for all of your prayers guys!!
