This past Thursday Justin received his assignment to teach in Longmont, Colorado. It was a very exciting afternoon to say the least. He will be teaching upper grades and is the principal apprentice. Really, he is the principal since the previous principal/teacher took a call to teach in northern Wisconsin.
We are very excited, but have our work cut out for us. The school is VERY small (think less than 15 students total), but we know that with God’s help we can reach more people! I already have a few ideas and can’t wait to get there and meet the congregation and school families.
We will be living on the same block as the school. The church and school own three houses, so we’ll be living in one of them. It is beautiful! We got a Skype tour of the house. There are three bedrooms upstairs with a full bathroom (no more Tupperware tub baths for Coen!), on the main level are the kitchen, dining room, and living room, and downstairs (1/2 underground) there is a large family room, wet bar, guest room, and 3/4 bath with laundry. In the back there is a patio with an awning and picnic table, and a full screened-in porch. We have been told the weather is beautiful, we’ll get to watch many hot air balloons, there are no bugs (hurray!), and everything is within walking distance.
Justin is thrilled that it’s a scooter city…he’s been wanting a scooter/moped for quite some time now. However, since he’ll be walking a whole 100 yards to the school I’m not sure he needs it quite yet. : )
We pack up the truck July 1st and will be moving July 2nd-3rd with an overnight stop in North Platte, Nebraska. It’s only a 12-ish hour drive from here, but for everyone’s sanity I think we’ll stop part way. Our friends Bud and Maria are probably going to drive with us down there and fly back to Minnesota on the 4th. I am very thankful to have Maria ride with Coen and me so he can be entertained. They are such great friends and we’ll miss them dearly!
I think that’s all for now! Pray for the church, school, and us!
