Wrapping It Up

Well, it has been almost 3 months since I started this blog. We have been busy selling our possessions, saying good-bye (for now) to precious friends and family, and making preparations to leave for Costa Rica.

As I write, Charlie and Colleen are flying to San Jose. Charlie is going to pave the way for the rest of us, and Colleen is going to set up our new home! (Which is affectionately called Casa Verde because of its very "unique" green color. The rest of us fly out Tuesday, Aug. 18.

I just want to take a moment to thank Global Outreach, Tupelo First Baptist, Shepherd's Flock Church, and our family and friends for your prayers and support. We are still raising support and are waiting for our house to sell. Humanly speaking, it would have been nice if the house had sold before we left, but God's timing is always better. And besides, this is just another obstacle to strengthen our faith and trust in God's providence.

We are also having trouble with my (Audrey's) birth certificate being authenticated. Buracracy is always most facinating!

We are still very excited and are ready to get going. Please continue to pray for us as we go. We are so blessed to be surrounded by "so great a cloud of witnesses." You are truly part of our ministry.
