Just under two weeks ago the Hofman family moved to Le Mars, IA. (That's why my blog has been pretty dead for the past month. We've been quite busy packing and moving and getting settled.) After five years serving in Kanawha, Tess and I felt God calling us to move on. I am now the pastor of Calvin Christian Reformed Church in Le Mars.
Le Mars is famous for being the ice cream capital of the world. Wells Enterprises, the company behind Blue Bunny ice cream, has its headquarters here, so more ice cream is made in Le Mars than anywhere else in the world. Getting settled in a new house and a new town is a process, and sometimes Lanie and Mia don't know quite what to think. So to help our girls get excited about their new home, we took a trip to the ice cream parlor on our first full day in Le Mars.
Lanie loved the birthday cake flavor, which has sprinkles and frosting mixed in. Mia didn't care which flavor she got; she was happy to share with both Mom and Dad.
Le Mars also has ice cream cone sculptures scattered throughout town, so Lanie and I are in the process of exploring town by looking for ice cream cones. Here's the first few we've found.
I'll keep you posted on how the great ice cream cone hunt is going. I'll also provide some more updates on our transition to Le Mars in the future that aren't all about ice cream. See you next time!
Grace and peace,

Glad you are exploring all the sights and tastes in our unique town. There are a lot more fun things you soon discover. This weekend via the sprint triathlon starting at the swimming pool. You live pretty close to the routes.
