FAST FORWARD!!!

I feel as if I'm living life in fast forward now. Things are falling into place and moving quickly. Here are a few updates:

-We are very possibly moving the closing date for our house up to February 16. That means I have just a couple of weeks to finish the packing and sorting! We will move into the Wegren's house for the last few weeks of the month.  We need just a bit more time to finish raising support and say good-bye properly to everyone. We are still hoping to leave for Florida by March 1, and then fly out of Miami to Nicaragua.

-We have finally decided on a house in Nicaragua. Lauren Diebert has been so helpful with this process and she found us the perfect place. It's in a walled community with about 17 other houses. It has a park, woods, and children the same age as our kids. It will allow our kids to have a safe place to roam around on their bikes and explore. This is a huge answer to prayer.

-We are heading home from Michigan tomorrow morning. It has been such a busy and enjoyable trip. The hard part will come in the morning when we have to say good-bye. We received more funding from churches, friends, and family than we ever expected! We are so close to our goal now. I'm not sure where the rest is coming from yet, but I know God has this under control. It's amazing to see the way he provides when you agree to follow his plan.

-There will be a zumbathon fundraiser for us on February 17th at Glenn View Baptist Church from 7-9pm. Many, many, many thanks to Doris Ashcraft and Katina Rice for putting this together.

-If you would like us to speak to your church or mission board, let us know and we'd be happy to do it. If you would like to join us as ministry partners, give us a call or click on the link on this site. We appreciate all of your prayers and support. We are so excited to begin doing the work God has called us to do.
