Coming along.....

As the time to leave draws closer we eliminate stresses each day, just in time for new ones to come forward. Just recently we found a renter for our home so that is definitely praise worthy. We can finally start packing up our home and get all our things ready to leave, but that all has to happened within 2 weeks! Support has been going well, as the money slowly keep coming in. If anyone has yet to donate we urge you to do it soon, you can post-date the payments or whatever has to happen, but we can't leave until our support is fully in, or at least pledged for, so if do want to donate,  please do it soon! Thanks again to all those who have supported us both financially or in prayer, it feels as though the further our adventure progresses, the more support we need!

"Some trust in chariots and some in horses,
   but we trust in the name of the LORD our God." Psalm 20:7

A Quick Thank-you

First off, we just want to say thank-you to all who have donated so far! We are about a third of the way to meeting our goal! We pretend we are ready for what is ahead, but I don't believe you can truly prepare yourself for a full year in another culture. Sure our shots are done, and money has been coming in (thank-you again) and we've made a packing list, but how does one actually prepare. If you have any advice we would love to hear it, because it feels like we have way to many free nights!

Also our house is still for rent so if you know of anybody needing a home, let us know!

God Bless!

The basics.

For those of you who don't know (it shouldn't be many of you) our family is leaving in March for Africa for one year! We are spending 8 months in South Africa, and 4 months in Mozambique, doing mission work. We are going through an organization called SIM, or Serving in Mission. They helped us find postings were we will be working at a primary school near in Bapsfontein near Pretoria, an orphanage in Pietermaritzburg, and other aid work in Mozambique.

As we slowly eliminated stresses, and tackle all the little jobs that we need to get done we get more and more excited. It doesn't seem possible that it is now down to the weeks until we will be going on this incredible adventure!

Also a side note, if you would like to receive a sponsor/mission letter, with a revised donor page (I realize the first few we sent out were a little bit difficult to understand) just let us know via email or Facebook, and we can send you one!

Here are a couple links for anyone who wants to look at where we will be a little closer:
