If you are into “storing up treasure in heaven” and you’re available you are welcome to help us move. We’ll gladly let you. And feed you as well.

All of our stuff (No pianos!) is in storage so the move is simple.

Load from storage unit into Uhaul (actually Budget) truck, drive across town, and unload into new place (No stairs!).

Here are the details:

Tuesday, September 20

Load Start Time: 9:00 am
Load Location: 2215 Tallac St, Sacramento, 95821

Unload Start Time: 11:30 am (estimated)
Unload Location: 1711 Vessona Cir, Folsom, 95630

I realize that Tuesday isn’t the greatest day to secure help with moving but that’s the way the job schedule works sometimes. If you can help we’d appreciate it.

Join us at the load up and/or the unload. We’ll take any help we can get.

Call with any questions or if you need directions.

It’s been awhile since our last update – web or print. Amy and I debate each year whether to invest the resources into sending a Christmas letter to everyone.

So this year we’re posting our Christmas Letter here on our website. If you are friends with us on Facebook then you likely read the latest on what is happening with us. If you aren’t on Facebook or haven’t talked with us in awhile this letter will help you catch up on our latest adventures.

Top 10 List

1. We trusted in God’s love as we left our family and friends in Tacoma to pursue Him in Sacramento.

2. We discovered a new depth of joy in depending on God to provide.

3. We found peace as Rob recovered from surgery for a ruptured achilles tendon.

4. We struggled with patience in waiting for God to tell us his plans.

5. We were blessed by kindness from family, friends, and even strangers.

6. We believed that God’s goodness wasn’t dependent on our circumstances.

7. We strived for faithfulness no matter what people thought about our situation, work ethic, or lack of plans.

8. We learned gentleness as we fought for the relationships that matter.

9. We pray for self-control as we pursue God’s presence rather than his plans.

10. We anticipate trials but hope to face them with faith, hope, and love.

Seasonal Highlights

Winter
We moved to Sacramento. Many of you have asked us, “Why?” The very simple answer is that, “God told us to.” We’re still discovering God’s presence and purpose in Sacramento. At the very least we are devoted to making disciples of Jesus in Sacramento.

Spring
Rob had surgery for a ruptured achilles tendon. He ruptured his achilles tendon while playing basketball in March. After surgery and recovery he is on the road to recovery.

Summer
We went to Ocean City for vacation and family reunion. Spending time with the Guthries, Edwards, and Powers families is always fun and there’s never a dull moment.

Fall
We stayed in Tacoma for a whole month. Thanks to Steve and Pong (Rob’s parents) for hosting us. We also started attending Emmanuel Church where Rob preaches weekly for the English Ministry congregation. Amy also went with Sandy on a weekend trip to visit her sister Laura in Houston.

Special Thanks

Aunt Mary Lu
You have graciously let us store our earthly possessions in your garage. May your heavenly treasures be abundant.

Discovery Church
Leaving our church family was very difficult. Thank you to the Fredricks family, the staff and leadership, and our small group for your service to us.

Chuck Remsberg
You invited Rob on your team. We are so grateful for your kindness.

Gerry Maurer
You allowed Amy to work from Sacramento when most bosses would have let her go. You have been a blessing to us.

Sandy/Grammy
You invited us into your home and have hosted us with so much grace. We will always be grateful for your love and sacrifice to us.

Steve and Pong/Papa and Harmony
You’ll never know the depth of our appreciation for your care and devotion to Asher since he was born. Thank you for your enduring faith.

Looking Forward

We look forward to an even greater 2011 as we walk in step with God, loving our neighbors, being light in the dark, and planting seeds for the gospel.
