Getting closer
















I know we haven't posted in a while but there really isn't anything to report on.

We're selling our "stuff" or mostly giving it away, wrapping things up with our jobs and preparing mentally and spiritually to GO! Sometimes I wake in the middle of the night and can't believe we are really moving to Malawi but it's true, in less than 3 weeks, our feet will hit the ground running in a country half-way around the world from Nebraska.

It is exciting and scary but I know that if the Lord is with us, everything will work out. We are excited to see what plans He has for us and what work he is going to do through us. I am sure we will be even more blessed than the people we will be working with.

Every times I look at pictures of the children in Malawi, I can't help but feel love, excitement and hope for them. Look at these faces -- I can't help but love them. And to think that these children have gone through and seen more in their short time here on earth than most of us in the US will ever go through in our entire lifetimes.

We can't wait to get there and see the kids!!
