Hello from Chicago

So we have some good news and some bad news

Erin and I flew back to Chicago suddenly this morning because Erin's grandmother died earlier this week. I thought that I was going to be walking into an emotional pit of dispair, but gladly it has been quite the opposite. Ever since we got off the plane (first of all it was like 55 degrees, which was a welcome breath of fresh air) the atmosphere has been full of life instead of death. The Houtsmas and the Jongsmas have been celebrating grandma's life instead of being sad that she is gone. The family has been sitting around talking about her life and some of the great qualities. I getting the impression that she was a wonderful woman.

Anyway We ask for your prayers among the Houtsmas and the Jongsmas as they bury a mother.

On a more personal note, Erin and I ask for your prayers because of Hurricane Wilma that is supposed to hit Florida, we will be here but we don't know what is going to happen and if anything is going to get damaged.

Thanks for reading

Justin
