Hey everyone...
I trust that everyone had a wonderful Easter. Easter Sunday for us was the culmination of a wonderful two weeks off from school. We kept busy, though...
The process of raising support for our entrance into the mission field has officially started. We spent much of the last 2 weeks meeting with friends and family interested in supporting our call financially. After 2 weeks and 14 appointments, we are at $495 of committed monthly financial support! This represents 8 supporters and .09% of our total support! We are still awaiting final word from 7 others who we have met with but not received a final answer, so we hope and pray that our support numbers will continue to increase. God has been so faithful in the last 2 weeks by providing many opportunities to share with friends, family, and strangers...
We are now officially a one car family! We sold our car to the local Chevy dealer...and although we had to pay a little to get rid of it ($900), but now our insurance costs are lower, we'll use less in gas, and we won't have our monthly car payment.
So for those of you who haven't heard...we had a memorable Easter in that the Southern California area experienced a significant earthquake at 3:40. My family and I were all sitting down to enjoy a wonderful Easter BBQ, in fact, my dad had just finished the prayer when the table and lights began to sway. This was definitely the longest earthquake I have ever experienced. In fact, it lasted for so long that we were all complaining of dizziness, and some of us even had some light motion sickness. "They" are saying that this earthquake registered 7.2...I love SoCal.
Finally, today is our first day back to school...While it's nice to be back, I could have used a couple more days. Oh, well...hard to complain when you just had two weeks of not having to go in to work.
I've had a handful of people remind me that there are only 10 weeks left of school. 10 weeks?!?! This is nuts...this means there are 17 weeks until we leave for Austria...It is mind blowing to anticipate what amazing things God will be doing in the the time remaining.
Well, that's all for now. Hope you are all doing well. Please drop a note if you'd like to meet about supporting us...or if you just want to talk. That's ok too!
