3,2,1...GO!!!


We are very close to departure! The initial excitment about leaving for Nepal is with us again, mixed with a healthy dose of stress. We get to go to "school" soon in Toronto, where we will learn about transitioning to another culture. Even Faith has a kid's class where they will do crafts, games, and snacks from other cultures. She keeps asking how many sleeps until we get to go! When we come back from Toronto we're only here a week, to say good-bye to friends and family, and then we're off (around Nov. 6th)!

So many prayers have been answered lately:
We got the official 'green light' from Nepal!
We tentatively found a tenant to rent our house (with small kids who will love this place as much as we do).
Rob has had enormous help with the bathroom renovations from guys in our small-group.
Our travel agent found a 2-year ticket (previously we couldn't book a return ticket for our 13 months).
Friends and family have freely volunteered to help us with packing and cleaning our house.

God is so good.
Thankyou for praying for us and supporting us!
