Preparations Continue...

A lot of you are wondering how our plans are coming. God has been so good to us! One day at a time but four weeks in the mind, how do you juggle that? Only by grace!

The garage sale is past & we look forward to a Yoder family reunion this next weekend here in Indiana. Also, evenings with friends during each week. We need those encouraging times and memories! After the reunion we plan to do more earnest packing & storing as we'll then have 3 weeks left til we plan to leave.

Our projects here in the house should be all finished this week, which is so great! Lorne is spending more days at home to finish things.

We are still praying for renters for our place. We feel sure that God has a plan, we just keep working to find the details. :) We're also trying to sell the van and plan to buy a large van to travel.

We continue to work on our language lessons and I just keep praying the Lord will increase our understanding! It's much easier to do a day of physical labor than to wrestle with those conjugations, tenses, and forms of tenses!

Thanks for your prayers!

Sharon,
I've been thinking about you all a lot these days...with all your last minute packing, etc. You are in our prayers and you will be MISSED...but will still be close in our hearts. I will keep checking your blog for updates.
Hugs to you, Marilyn

Yes Sarah, packing a jar, a box, a book, anything would be GREAT! That would mean you'd be here and that would be the best!
