So the plan is to update this blog a lot more regularly than once a week...but things get busy.
We have been very busy...We spent a very wonderful mother's day weekend in Orange County; we went to the Anatolian Food and Cultures Festival, spent time with our moms, and I was able to go to a movie with my dad, Justin, and my nephew Nathan. Very fun.
I took the day off on Tuesday to take care of some paperwork hoops in that are necessary for our visa application. I ended up driving most of the day: driving from Apple Valley to Downtown LA, Downtown LA to Santa Ana, Santa Ana back to Downtown LA, and then back to Apple Valley. At the end of the day, I ended up with 3 documents with an Apostille, but also with the realization that I would have to do it all over again with another doc...oh, well.
Yesterday, we went to the Air 1 Appreciation Tour. It was Justin's first "show" and he was loving every minute of it. He and his buddy Ray, and Ray's sister Jenna, were front and center. Literally, Justin was resting his arms on the stage between sets. He was rocking out the whole night, and was able to meet all 4 of the bands that played. Rebecca and I spent the night volunteering at the Compassion International table, leading people through the process of signing up to sponsor children through the program. It was a very encouraging to be able to share with people how much of a blessing sponsorship has been in our lives. Tons of fun! We are hoping that we will be able to squeeze in as many volunteer opportunities before we leave for Vienna. Of course, we didn't get home until 11:15 last night...good times, rough morning.
We're asking for lots of prayers this weekend...we will be presenting at our church this Sunday. We are definitely praying that we will get many supporters from our home church. We are still about $4000 short of our monthly support needs. Thanks so much for all of you who continue to pray for us and support us. We really appreciate you.
