Ethan + Laura

We now have over 41% of our goal to get this ministry up and running at the University of Minnesota. Or as all the Minnesotans call it “the U.” We have been here for over 4 months now. My father drove my motorcycle out here so we can have a second vehicle as my schedule is getting busier and busier! (answer to prayer). He arrived on Friday, rained most of his drive out here but drove in safely Friday afternoon.

This week George Loring is flying in from Colorado to travel with me to churches and individuals in Northern MN Wisconsin and in southwest Minneapolis.

Last week was a busy week.  I have been going over my Support Raising training materials, ordering more CA (campus ambassadors) literature and handouts to give to people I meet with.   A few people have come along side us to help us begin networking with individuals and churches within Minneapolis and the surrounding areas.  We have been getting to meet and know more and more people out here.  We have plugged into a small group bible study with people our age from the church.   We had Easter breakfast at the church Sunday morning and then had Easter dinner with Jim and Sandy.   People are continuing to help us feel welcomed here.  Praise God.

Laura’s first full week of work at Dicks Sporting Goods has been stressful for her but day by day is getting a little easier for her.

I hope everyone had a great Easter.

We arrived in Minneapolis April 1st.  Another couple, Ralph and Mary, have opened there home to us and are letting us stay with them till we raise more support and figure out where a good place to settle might be.   We have moved into their guest bedroom for now and are very happy that they are so generous as to let us stay here!

First Baptist Church of Minneapolis is our host church here in MN. The pastor had us stand up as he introduced us to the congregation. They have been awaiting our arrival for months and are excited to have us as well as for what the future Ministry to the U of MN will hold.

Laura Starts work Tomorrow at Dicks Sporting Goods (Monday the 6th). I am driving Laura to work in the morning and going to find a place to access some wireless so I can get to work as well.
