So we did quite a bit today with the help of Jose Ramos and some of the Grace and Peace Church guys again. I would say that we are 85% moved in :) We are waiting until Monday morning to move in completely as our gas will not be turned on until Tuesday mid day. No gas = no hot water :)
Anyways, we are SO happy to be pretty much moved in! We've had our things in boxes for more than 3 weeks and while we're getting used to not having our of our things, we are a bit irked about the situation. Not complaining though as we feel SUPER blessed at the deal we got from Beth and Dave Kanelos regarding the apartment that we are transitioning out of.
Yesterday, Keith and Debra Cantrell hosted an amazing networking dinner for us. The Cantrell's are Thomas Cantrell's parents. Anna and I know Thomas from Wesmont College. Mrs. Cantrell saw my facebook update that I was going to be doing ministry in Chicago and were immediately interested in being a resource for us. Praise God! They invited us over for dinner and also invited a few of their friends that have relevant ministries and interests. It was amazing! Thank you LORD for reminding us that it's your universal body!
Tomorrow we'll get to go to Park Community Church (http://www.parkcommunitychurch.org/) and meet with some people at the church that are also interested in the Humboldt Park area. One of the church elders helped Anna and I get settled and, again, other welcoming brothers and sisters invited us for dinner and the conversation took off! We look forward to hanging out with them and their friends as well as enjoying and participating in what I hear is an amazing service.
More news to come soon!
