life in Hyde Park

so...i know it has been a while, and even this little update will be extremely short...sorry.
We have been crazy busy, learning, growing, being challenged-and God is so faithful. I will write more in detail soon, but for now, here is a brief glimpse into the last few weeks

Civil Rights Museum
Kids...tons of kids
basketball
sharing Jesus' love
kids coming to Christ
moms coming to Christ

watching "Bewitched"
road trip
knock-knock jokes
relay games
Chicago
five girls in a garden apartment
