The Count Down Begins

We only have 3 more days! On Thursday we will be heading down to Florida to visit with the grandparents. This week has been great. At the beginning of the week we got the results of our Myers/Briggs test that we took. David is an introvert (big surprise), sensor, thinker, judging and I am an extrovert, sensor, feeler, judging. That pretty much sums up both of us. It is good to know these things about yourself your co-workers and you spouse so you can figure out the way they think about different things. We also learned another tool called Pioneer Evangelism. It has been really interesting to learn all of these tools. The second part of the week we have been in contingency training. This is another tool that has been pretty intense to learn. In fact even today we are still going through it. I would tell you all about it but then I would have to kill you and I don't really want to do this. (ha ha)

Tomorrow we are starting the packing/cleaning process. I think we are pretty busy the rest of the week so we won't have much time. Wednesday will be our commissioning service. We are all pretty excited to get on with the moving process. It will be nice to have some down time in Florida. That reminds me. Thank you to those that sent the Easter care package. To the Cooke's I love the recipe game. To Kathi the pictures are beautiful. If you would like to continue to send us care packages please do not sent them to the VA address any longer. You can send them to 2155 Curry Lane, Orlando, FL 32812. We leave for South Africa April 17th. After that I will give you another address. Also, if you are on Facebook I have now joined so that is another way we can keep in touch.

You all have been so wonderful while we have been here at ILC. Thank you for your prayers.

Prayer/Praise Requests: Praise we are almost done!
Praise our nephew Samuel made a profession of faith!
We need to sell our van when we get home.
Easy transition for the children and us and the grandparents.
Saying goodbye to friends going all over the world will be difficult.
Travel mercies on Thursday.
David's mom is in Europe right now pray for her safe return.
Pray for our ministry when we get to the field.
Pray for our neighbors and people in the airports and on planes that they will have open hearts to the gospel.

Hey guys! I can't believe your training time is almost over and you will be leaving for Africa soon! How exciting and scary! We can't wait to see you all again and look forward to all the new things God has in store for you all the way across the globe.

Much love & Prayers!
