HOULETTEHAPPENINGS Greetings from Wenham, Massachusetts! We do appreciate very much your prayers for us. Things are going well here. ANSWERS TO PRAYER We purchased a car yesterday from some friends from Japan! They were in Boston for a year to do research at Harvard. We are making many friends with families, co-workers and students. Yutaka arrived Sunday, and is settling in. CAMPUS MINISTRY AT A GLANCE Becoming an assistant resident director has put John on a steep learning curve the last three weeks. We live in Gedney Hall, with 26 residents. It is an intentional community with a focus on missions. Eriko hosted many freshmen last night for dessert. We have our kick off event tomorrow night. John also oversees four other halls with various degrees of responsibility. Here in Gedney I have two great resident assistants, Bryden McGhee for the women and Jordan Montgomery for the men. I hope to mentor 3-5 students during the year.

She has had a number of job interviews, but no firm offers. Please continue to pray. Jeweliann, Yutaka and Christine all start classes tomorrow. This will be Jeweliann’s first time to study in America. We would appreciate your prayers for all of our students! Eriko and I so appreciate your prayers for us and our adjustment to America. In Christ, John and Eriko
