Phil & Sharon Eagling, Australia   I know, I know, You all think that we have dropped off the earth! But here we are in Thornton! We moved on Friday and have just got the phone on about an hour ago and I have even managed to get internet on straight away as well. We'd like to thank you all for your prayers concerning the house hunting. God has allowed us to live in a lovely home that will be wonderful [if we ever find our way out the boxes] just kidding we are doing pretty well. Savannah spent 2 nights with her Aunty Fay and Uncle Tim over the weekend and that helped us to get a big start on things. Philip preached his first sermon yesterday so we have finally begun. We are so looking forward to staying in one spot and settling down again.

Our address is

AICM, American Indian Christian Mission, Arizona   You are looking at the only structural damage done to the AICM campus.
