Upon arriving Stateside in early August we visited with Laurel’s parents in Los Angeles, then drove northward to the Pacific Northwest where we spent time with our kids and other family, all with the doggies in tow. Since then Devin & Karyn, Daniel, David with his girlfriend Jenny, as well as Rick’s parents have visited us in our home in Canby, Oregon pictured below. These precious moments are all too few since the family lives at a distance.
This is the reality for missionaries…our thoughts and prayers continually return to our other home, in our case Chile. Much has happened since we left in August, the renovations to the new property are marching forward and the permanent move-in date for CBC church is set for the second weekend in November. Check out these before and after pictures.
We have felt welcomed home as we travel visiting churches and supporters sharing the miracles God has performed through those who have stepped out in faith and obedience over these past four years in Chile. Our desire is to inspire you and your congregation to even greater things for the Kingdom. We have NEW PHONE numbers. Home: 971 600 2434. Rick’s cell: 503 544 7669, Laurel’s cell: 503 544 7675. Please check out our ministry website, blog and scheduling calendar and give us a call. www.ellis.cl. We have availability from January - July 2016.
