Landing in Lafayette, Part 2

We've finished 3 weeks in Lafayette, already! I can honestly say that I'm enjoying our time here. This is a really nice city. The people are friendly and there are a variety of places to explore and enjoy with young kids. Our church here has been warm and welcoming and we've enjoyed connecting with people at backyard barbecues and weekly volleyball nights. It has been an answer to prayer how wonderful of a time we are having!
Exploring the area near the pedestrian bridge over the Wabash River

The bridge, and the river

Big fountain...too bad we can't play in that water!

Peter and Cora both completed two weeks of swimming lessons. This picture is to show  the state in which Peter finished his lessons! He came to trust his instructor and let go of some fear and actually have a good time! Cora did so well and really wanted to continue her lessons. She's right on the verge of passing her level and going to the next one!
We've spent a lot of time exploring a variety of parks and playgrounds around town...and having a great time together!

Prayers answered: 
  • Addie's fever that I mentioned ended up being Roseola. I'm so thankful she didn't get more sick and no one else did either. 
  • We are feeling quite comfortable and at home here, both in daily family life and the church community. I would say the adjustment was smooth and fairly easy. PTL!
Prayers Requested:
  • For this summer to be a time of full, abundant life for our family
  • Continued meaningful ministry opportunities, not only for Brad but also for me
  • Continued connections and deepened relationships with new friends here
