Just around the corner!

With just about four weeks to go, it seems we have entered into this realm of blissful denial about all that we need to do before we leave. But in the attempt to be realistic about our leaving, we are holding fast to our faith to keep us focused on God's grace in our lives to keep the anxiety, and moments of panic, at bay.

We want to thank our family and friends who came out this past Sunday to hear more about how God has worked in our lives and how He might use us while we are in Nepal. It was a blessing to be in a room filled with people who are genuinely excited to hear and see what He is doing in our lives. We want to thank you all (those who attended and those who were praying for us if you couldn't be there) for demonstrating God's love for us in such an amazingly real and palpable way. And to our Missionary Support Team, praise God for His work through you! Not only do we want to thank you for putting together such a smoothly run and blessed event, but we thank you for encouraging us by your example to be joyfully obedient to His call to love God and love others. Truly, thank God for you!!!

If you are interested in learning more about what life in Nepal is like, and some of the social struggles the people of Nepal face, we are in the midst of listening to the audio version of a book called:

Little Princes: One Man's Promise to Bring Home the Lost Children of Nepal by Conor Grennan

It was recommended to us by a good friend, and we are truly enjoying the opportunity to learn more about the culture and the daily life we'll possibly experience in just a few short weeks. If you have the time, we recommend the audio version of the book because it is read by the author himself, and he's a pretty funny guy. Check it out!
