It didn't get dark until after 10 last night!

We arrived safely in Grand Forks ND around 11pm last night. It's so far north here that the sun sets very late and rises very early (I can't say it was especially pleasant to be woken this morning around 6am by the sun after the late night.) Last night we stayed at a hotel that is a member of a midwest chain that allows people in full-time ministry a free night's stay if the room is available. We just dined on a great breakfast and are catching up on emails and getting a few things in order before heading over to check in, find out where we're living, and hug old friends and meet new before we get ready for classes. All our contact information is the same, but if you want to mail something to us this summer, please use the following address:

Jason and Elizabeth Parks
SIL-UND
2901 University Avenue Stop 8217
Grand Forks ND 58202-8217

Last weekend we had a fun time with family, and spoke at my parents church. We hope that it was a blessing to them as we appreciate their partnership with what we do. This weekend we hope to break away to see some of Jason's family...we'll see how the next few days go. On that note, I need to go get busy!
