Whirlwind!

So far Hannah has been the only one to post anything on here but from now on we will both be adding from time to time. As I'm sure all of you know, Hannah and I moved to Mooseheart, Illinois yesterday, just west of Chicago. The last two days have definitely been somewhat of a whirlwind. On Saturday night we stayed with my brother Dave and his family in Avon before leaving early Sunday morning for the drive up here in the U-Haul. Once we arrived everything went pretty well. All of the girls helped us unpack so it went pretty quickly and by last evening we were settled in but exhausted! We began our three weeks of training this morning and so far that also is going well. We are beginning to get to know the girls, although we have been told to expect it to take several months before most of them feel comfortable around us since many of them have had abusive histories with adults in their lives. Tonight Hannah and I went out to dinner in Naperville and we also checked out a church that our Pastor Troy had suggested to us. It is called Communtiy Christian Church (communitychristian.org) and there are several campuses across the Chicago area. The one we visited was Naperville Yellowbox. They have a cafe that is open during the week so we went there to study some of our training materials. We are planning to check out services there this weekend! Ok, I better get to bed so I can be rested for another long day of training tomorrow!
