Support still needed

We still need more financial support to get to Honduras.  We have been approved to go to language school in Costa Rica, but we must have all of our support before we can go to Honduras.  

We currently sit at 74% of our monthly need.  We still need about $1500 in monthly pledges.  This is our biggest need and we ask you to consider being a part of helping us hit 100%!  

If you would like to join the team that is sending us to Honduras, please let me know.  Here is our website that has more information about financial support.

Praise the Lord for the 74% that has come in already!

I've got two tickets to

...Costa Rica!  Don't think its paradise (although I have heard it is beautiful) and we don't leave tonight.

We have been accepted to language school in Costa Rica and tonight I booked our flight to get there!  We leave Phoenix on January 3rd and orientation for school starts on the 5th.  We will be living with a Costa Rican family and will be fully immersed into the latin culture and Spanish language.

17 more days in Nov. + 31 days in Dec. + 3 days in Jan. = 51 days till we move out of the US.

Another Good-Bye

Today we said good bye to our house: our home of almost 3.5 years.  

It was an odd feeling as we drove away.  Not sad.  Not overwhelmingly happy.  Hard to describe.  

We loved our house.  It has been a house and a home for us for most of our married life.  It helped bring my brother Jake here to Arizona.  It allowed us to take care of 5 kids for a few months.  

This is a huge answer to prayers!  We put the house on the market in April and got an offer at the end of May.  Since it was a short sale, the bank had to approve the sale.  That took longer than we thought it was going to, but the sale of the house will actually go through tomorrow and we will be one step closer to heading to Honduras!  

Thank you for everyone who responded and offered to help with our living situation!  We found a great place here in Phoenix to stay until we leave for language school.  Unfortunately, we have not yet found a home for our dog Trippy.  If you are interested in an 11 pound Chihuahua with lots of energy, please let us know ASAP!
