The Beginning of Travels

We’re back! Oh, you didn’t know we were gone? Well, we were. We recently spent two weeks in Minnesota and about a week in Wisconsin.

Typical Minnesota

Dan was in a friend’s wedding up North so we went up a little before the wedding and stayed awhile after the wedding. We had opportunities to catch up with friends, meet with a couple of supporters, and (for me, Holly) be reintroduced to some people I met for about 2 minutes at our reception. We ended up spending some time cleaning and painting the house we’ll live in when we move up to Minnesota full-time. We are so blessed to have a place to live already! I also got to experience Mall of America for the first time.

I really wanted to ride the carousel.

In Wisconsin, I got to introduce Dan to a bunch of my dad’s side of the family. I took him to the Bible Institute I graduated from, showed him around downtown Waukesha, and we were able to spend some good time with my grandparents. As a bonus, I experienced my first MLB game! We watched the Brewers beat the Cardinals…from some pretty nice seats, I might add.

What’s the plan now that we’re back, you ask? It’s the beginning of support-raising for us! It’s quite the daunting task, but God has already used several people to encourage me and to show me that He’s faithful and trustworthy. He has to keep reminding me.

Dan's a good buddy.

We’ll be traveling out East to Virginia and North Carolina sometime early this summer. We plan on seeing some more family, visiting my family’s home church, and getting into some new churches to seek relationships for support-raising.

If you live in VA, NC, MN…or really any state, and want to meet with us to find out more about our ministry and how you can be a part of our support team (whether through encouragement, prayer, or giving), email us at dan_thannum@ntm.org and make sure to get us your mailing address and a contact phone number.
