One more sleep...
It is 12:30AM now on the day of our departure for Brazil. What a strange and quickly passing segment of time this is! We have sold both our cars, packed our bags (pretty much), and we just completed our final gathering with friends (pictured) before our departure. So now all that's left is to get on the plane.
This last week has given Ali and I tremendous insight into what a loving community we are surrounded by. I think that moving to a far off land for an indefinite amount of time is a little like living through your own funeral, you get to hear everyone pay their final respects to you. I highly recommend it!
Ali and I have been so blessed over these last couple of years in Ohio. Living close to my family is something that I have loved and will greatly miss (to the left Ali is pictured with my oldest brother, Danny). Leading the youth group has enriched our lives beyond what I can say. And through times of peace, and through times of anguish, we have seen the Lord faithfully, and at times miraculously provide for our needs. What a great God we serve!
So now comes the move. May the Lord bless and keep you as we go. We will update you soon from our new home in Itu, Brazil.
