Three years ago we started out on the adventure of a lifetime. It started like this…my husband had just come home from a short mission trip and he took me out to dinner. He started the conversation with, “What do you think about doing this mission stuff full-time?” To which I promptly said, “What took you so long?!” That was the beginning of a 3-year adventure to come to where we are. It started with an application, then selling our house, our motorcycles, our cars, to an evaluation, to another training, to another evaluation, to a month in New York, to 8 months of support raising, quitting two management jobs, to 10 months of language school, to where we are now. One month until we leave. One month from today! It’s been a long haul, but one filled with God every step of the way! We thank everyone for sticking with us, to praying for us, to supporting us with finances, care packages, e-mails of encouragement and support. Thanks to everyone!
