Illinios State University and helping around the house!

We were able to make a short visit to Bloomington, Illinois to Illinois State University. This is one of the schools we will be working on when we report to our ministry assignment. We were so thankful to be able to hang out with our future co-workers and to have them show us around campus! Here are a few pictures from our afternoon at ISU!

Looking at a big map of Illinois and pointing to Bloomington (our future place of residence).

On top of the tallest dorm on campus - it was a beautiful view of campus and all of Bloomington and Normal!

So, besides visiting ISU, we have been busy with home renovation projects. As many of you know, we are currently living with Andrea's parents in Lima, Ohio. Her parents are in the process of updating the decor throughout their whole house. We figured we would help and gain knowledge of painting walls (since we may have to do it when we purchase a house someday). I think Joe really likes painting! Here are some action shots!

Joe painting the ceiling in the family room! Very focused!
