We're Makin' Progress

Whew! We have now officially had our final yard sale (Saturday) and 90% of our "things" are gone. We're makin' progress! Yes, it does feel good to have gotten rid of the extra. No, we don't miss anything... well, okay, almost nothing. David and I really miss our king size bed but that sounds a little like pouting so I'll move on.

Praises: We have rid ourselves of the "extra" . We realize how much extra we had that we didn't really need. We have sheet rock and all of our vinyl siding on the house as of today. We have a fence that encloses the back yard( this is not to keep others out but instead to keep ours in). We had a precious family volunteer to prime the entire house. And lastly, my father in law was able to get away for the week for some much earned and needed R&R . We LOVE our new home and neighborhood.

Prayer Request: for good health while maintaining twice the busy schedule as normal. Our ministry preparation even at this stage in the game is like having a full time job for both David and I. (David obviously already has a full time job). We will be speaking at a school this Thursday and are praying that God will use us to cast a vision to these high school students for God's work in missions overseas. We are praying to show them a clear, honest approach to preparing for the field. Two of our children will be going to speak with Melinda. Please pray for much success in getting the last things done to our home. This week we are priming, painting , moving cabinets into place and getting toilets ready to be set. It's ALL very exciting!

We love you all,

David , Melinda and the "painting crew"
