Our Niece Teaches in China

We got an e-mail from our niece Erin Freedlund. She has been teaching this past year at an international school in Wuhan China. She is enjoying the warm spring weather after freezing in an apartment with no heat all winter. It’s been a challenge dealing with students who don’t always speak much English, as well as trying to learn Chinese herself. It is also a challenge to live in a place where Christians are sometimes persecuted for their faith. Keep her in your prayers. You can learn more about Erin and her adventures at her webpage.

Freed's All Back Home At Least for Now

Sorry I've been a little slow with the updates, but last week I was pretty worn out from all the traveling.

The trip that Linda, Rebekah and I took to Concordia Seward was great, Especially since Bekah drove most of the way home. Everything at the school was first class we were very impressed with how the visit. The food was good, the professors and students were all very helpful and the Choir was awesome. I really think this is the school Bekah wants to attend if we can swing the impressive tuition and fees. The admissions person all but guaranteed she would qualify for there top scholarship, but that still leaves a lot to come up with. So please send donations to SENDBEKAHTOCOLLEGE.COM (just kidding). Seriously keep her in your prayers, that God would work it out to get her to the college He wants her at.

The trip to Colorado was also good. Elizabeth, my mom and I went out for my cousin's daughters wedding. OK so we visited the Coors plant while we were there. Anyway the wedding went well, the scenery was beautiful (just enough snow to cover the ground without causing driving problems) and we only got lost a couple of times. It was good to see my Aunt and Uncle and my cousin Beth. We got caught up and reminisced about old times at Grandma's house. Elizabeth did most of the driving. She even handled the Denver traffic well.

Dan to Start the Season with AA Norwich

Chances looked good for our nephew Dan to start with AAA Fresno, but alas the Giants just have too many outfielders. So it's back to the AA Norwich Navigators. At least he will get lots of playing time and double A is nothing to sneeze about. I really think if Dan can stay healthy that this is going to be his year. He's been hitting a ton in the minor league preseason and it wouldn't surprise me if he debuts in the majors before the year is over. Here's the link to the Navigators Website. It's listed at the right as well. You can listen to the games on the internet. Good luck Dan! We're all pulling for you!
