Ruth and I arrived in Seattle just a little over two weeks ago!  We have been working hard to get our feet on the ground in the church (Grace Seattle) and the city!

David and Brenna--friends of ours from seminary and St. Louis--are our gracious hosts for the next month or so as Ruth looks for a job and thus we can afford to rent an apartment in the Capitol Hill area of Seattle, near the church.

So far I (Tom) have enjoyed meeting many different people in the church.  Our pastor, Michael, has been an amazing mentor/guide through my apprenticeship.

Please remember us in your prayers as Ruth looks for a job and we get settled into the city, the church and the community.
