We Leave Tomorrow AM!

We have cleaned, canceled mail, seen friends and family, packed and now we are ready to go! At least, in most aspects we are ready... it doesn't really feel real that tomorrow night we will sleep in our new house in Costa Rica! We have been trying to get emotionally and spiritually ready, asking that God would prepare us. He has been with us in this last week as through this whole process. We'd appreciate prayers for our flight - we leave at 11:15 AM central time and will land at 7:30 PM central time in San Jose. We are thankful that we will stay in the same time zone so no jet lag! Our friends, Mike and Kathy Garrett, will meet us at the airport and take care of us over the weekend - introducing us to new people and showing us around, helping us get adjusted.
We are excited to see Roblealto, our house, our neighborhood, the rainforest and mountains. THANK YOU to all who have helped make this mission year possible! Keep in touch... and the next blog will be from Costa Rica!

We have raised our support!

Praise God for his faithfulness. We have raised all the financial support we need to pursue our year of service in Costa Rica! Thanks to all the friends and family that are supporting us and allowing us to serve God and his people in this next year. We will be busy getting ready to leave in the next couple of weeks. Cancelling things, packing, cleaning... hopefully getting up to the cabin a bit too :) We leave July 31 and can't wait to see our new house and new country!
