Got a website/blog?

Hey, if your link isn't in the great links sidebar don't be sad, it's not that I don't love you! Just let me know. I really want to put all of our friends pages on there and I either didn't know you had a page or I didn't have easy access to the url. So just leave a comment and I'll be sure to get it up so it's easy for all to see (including me)!

Freeeddooommm!

I officially only have 1 more semester!!!! woohoo! I finished my last final for this semester yesterday and it felt SO nice to go home and know that for the next 5 weeks I don't have one drop of homework for school. I can now focus on more important things like reading the books Neil gave us, writing our sponsor letter, and putting together the packets, oh and maybe a little knitting! If this feels so good, I can't even IMAGINE what next May will feel like when I'm really done. It's funny, because at the beginning of this semester I was thinking to myself that I didn't really need a graduation party and I couldn't figure out why these parties were such a big deal. But now, as it nears, I can feel myself wanting to celebrate that I made it, I finished, I didn't quit half-way, and I won't ever have to go back again! unless I really want to....

Now I have to figure out what else is going on in my life- these last two weeks have been a blur- and I need to reorganize my mental calandar. I have Christmas parties, baking, a little shopping, graduations, and I'm sure other things that I have to squeeze all together before the holidays are over. I don't know if I'll ever know what it feels like to not be busy... I know many of you out there sympathize with me!

Continue to pray for us! I always want everything done NOW- and planning for Montreal is a slow process highly dependant on God working things out and other peoples desire to be involved. That often takes time and doesn't happen overnight (even though I wish it would ;-)

In Christ,

Baby steps, but it's coming along!

It's so wierd how fast Montreal is going to come... We're on the same timeline as Kelli so that means we won't leave until mid August but I was doing a check list in my head of the things we need to accomplish in the coming months and it's just going to fly by. I figure it's going to be like planning a wedding... before you know it, it's here and over and you've started a new chapter of your life. We're so excited though!

We officially asked someone to be our care team leader last night. We discussed our visions and hopes with them over some tea and a piece of pie at Flying Star. They were so excited for us! I'm not going to say who yet, we asked them to pray about it and they haven't given us a response yet so it's not a absolutely sure thing. They talked with us awhile about what was going on in their life and that they felt God was pulling them out of certain things and preparing them for something new, they just didn't know what! If this is God's will, they I'll have to say how amazing it is that He works everything out to His perfect timing. He was preparing them and us at the same time! That's just so awesome!

I think Johnny got the packets from Neil today so hopefully we'll be able to get started on our fundraising soon. We might contact you, but let us know if your interested in supporting us and we'll tell you anything you need or want to know :-)

In Christ,
