Time keeps ticking away…tick tick ticking away.

We have passed the two month mark.  In less than two months we will be arriving in our new home in Johannesburg, South Africa.  It is a bittersweet countdown.  We are very excited about going to South Africa but at the same time we are not ready to say goodbye to our Framily (Friends + Family = Framily according to the Sprint commercial).   So we are trying to make the most every moment we have left in the states and we are trying not to dwell on the upcoming goodbyes. 

The last couple of weeks have been full of lots of activity. 

We had our garage/moving sale; which was made possible by lots of help from friends.  We had a lot of community people stop by which was really cool.  And only a couple of people walked away empty handed, which was awesome. 

We moved out of our duplex; which was made easier by the garage/moving sale.  J We have most of our suitcases packed except for our clothes suitcases.  We are staying with some wonderful friends from our church, who graciously offered up their basement until we left Kansas City.

We had another of many upcoming road trips.  We traveled to Wheaton, IL to see some friends of Joe’s and a had great weekend with them and then got to share in their Children’s Church which was awesome!  Then we drove to Northwest Indiana to connect with our LINKS district (in Nazarene language that is a district that supports missionaries through prayer and such.)  It was great to connect with the great people of Northwest Indiana. 

This week we have been finishing up things and doing all the stuff that comes with an international move.  Today someone is coming to buy Joe’s Jetta and we have sold almost all of our Craigslist stuff!   Slowly but surely we are getting ready for our move. 

Pray with us as we continue on the journey and let us know how we can be praying with you. 


Until next time remember the last leg of any road trip always seems the longest (even though time passes at the same rate…)
