Please God, not Africa!

It's October the 18th and we leave in less than a month! Our tickets are booked, our house is a mess, and I think I might be losing my mind. This is where we are attempting to do school. Kind of. We move out of our house on October 27th which means we have 9 days to get MUCHO work done.  You can see from the above photo that the packing is in process but I'm not sure the word PROGRESS is an apt description of how we're doing right now. One of those "one step forward, two steps back" things.   We do have tickets booked to fly out on November 14th.  Super exciting and crazy at the same time.  I can't believe we'll be in Togo a month from now. I know these next few weeks are going to fly by. Please pray for us as we try to complete the long list of things that need to be done before we go.  From travel visas (which are in process) to moving in with my parents (Bless them!!), there is still a lot, a lot, a lot to be accomplished. Okay - shor

Three things to share with you: 1. The packing has started.  Our house is a mess with boxes and totes everywhere. We signed the lease for our house and we move out on October 27th.  That's this month!  Eek! 2. The tickets are actually booked.  We fly out on Monday, November 14th at 6:35 pm from Toronto and land in Lome on November 15th at 6:10 pm (Lome time).  That's about six weeks away! 3. Support is at 91% today.  AMAZING!!  We have about $600 per month left to raise to be fully supported.  Please pray with us that this final amount comes in BEFORE November 14th. We trust that God will provide. This is starting to be really real. I was filling out all the applications for our visas today and it's crazy to think that in a few weeks, we'll actually be back in Mango. It's exciting and scary, happy and sad, good and hard all at the same time. Ugh - these crazy conflicting emotions! You want to know how you can pray for us?  I'm so glad you asked! 1. P
