Well, it's finally happened! Our visas were approved, our passports were returned to us with said visas, and our tickets are purchased!
Our patience has definitely been tested over the last four months, as we thought we were going to be leaving early in August. But we know God's timing is perfect, and we have had a wonderful, if somewhat frustrating, several months.
We will be leaving the states this next week. Please pray for us as we undertake a two-day across-the-world journey with a toddler! It should be interesting.
We have enjoyed this weekend with family, and had a birthday party for Theron today, complete with lots of cake!
Support Update: Thanks to God's faithfulness and the willingness of so many people to be used by Him in our lives, we have raised the initial amount that we need in order to leave the country! We still have some ongoing support left, about $300/ month that we need in pledges. We are so humbled and amazed by the incredible God we serve and His ability to provide for all of our needs.
Next time you hear from us, we'll be on the other side of the world!
Yay! I'm so freaking excited for you guys!!!!!!
