Hello Dear Supporters! It has been a long time since we have posted any new blogs. We apologize for our absence and hope to get better about updating on here now that we are so close to getting to Bingham!
We are still praying for another $800 a month to come in for our budget. This is all that is holding us from God's call on our lives.
We have been busy doing all kinds of preparations. We have our vaccinations, our last step of paperwork towards our visa should be coming in just a bit, we are having a huge garage sale next week (which all proceeds go towards our budget) to get rid of all of our unnecessary items and things all seem to be coming together.
God has been busy preparing the way as well. Jessica was told a couple days before the end of the school year that there are not enough hours for her during the next school year. She looked at it like God was closing the door to not have any doubt that it was time to go! We also heard from Bingham that they have a huge shortage of teachers and really need us to get there. As soon as the money comes in, we will be on a plane to Addis! This was another blessing as we were not sure what would happen if we did not make the August 1 deadline originally given. It is not ideal for Jessica or the kids to move once the school year has began, however, so we are still praying for the funds to come in so we can be there on time ready for orientation and getting adjusted!
We have had such wonderful friends and family supporting us and volunteering time and talents throughout this process and are so grateful for everyone. It is a humbling experience and makes us appreciate our loved ones even more. Thank you to everyone who has and/or will play a part in this journey God has put us on and we look forward to sharing more with you!
