Greetings from Chicago! I'm finally writing after months of silence on this blog. I (Lori) finished my first year of school in the MA of Counseling Ministies program at Wheaton Graduate School. :-) Because I'm going part time I will possibly be in school for another year and a half. It's great to be on summer vacation until August. I'll have time to visit with friends and family. :-)

Dick spent two weeks in Mexico this month, meeting with pastors and church leaders. They would like to start a distance seminary program in Torreon and surrounding towns. This ministry opportunity is an answer to prayer. The plan is to begin the distance seminary program in September. Dick will use materials that he developed for the distance seminary in Argentina and develop additional materials for Mexico and Argentina. We'd like to post pictures of Dick's trip in a seperate post.

We praise God for the opportunities to minister to fellow misionaries. Our time in Chicago was not in the plans that we had a few years ago. We continue to see how God guides "along unfamiliar paths" Isaiah 42:16. He also says " These are the things I will do for you" I will not forsake you."

Our family is doing well. We are living in Norwood Park, which is within the Chicago city limits.

We thank God for you and thank you for your prayers!
