2024 has been full of joy as we became Auntie & Uncle and explored more of the beautiful state of Washington and beyond. We love serving weekly on the Children’s Ministry and Prayer teams at church and growing deeper in our walks with God and others. We have been enjoying our jobs: Anna in the senior living industry and Sean as a Sr. Data Consultant. It has been so fun to have Nate living close by—he was gracious to host us during the recent “bomb cyclone”/power outages and on Thanksgiving. Next year is shaping up to be quite the year: we’ll celebrate our 30th birthdays and are expecting a baby in June! God is good!

We’ve been attending a two-year leadership program through our Eastridge Church. The program is designed to equip and develop leaders within the context of ministry there. It is a series of eight, six-week courses for deeper understanding of Scripture, greater certainty of our faith, and stronger development of our leadership skills. We also have the opportunity to observe various operations, functions, and meetings of the leadership team.
