50 Days!

We will be leaving Indiana in just 50 days… surreal.  Here are a few quick updates.

• We all went to the optometrist last week.  The kids love it!  I think they are always hoping they "get" to wear glasses, but no such luck.  Don, however, got his first pair of reading glasses.  Check one more item off the To-Do list!
• We had to take both of our cars in for repairs, and BOTH bills were 30-50% LESS then estimated!  Can you believe it?  Another blessing.
• We are selling a few final items.  If you need a grill, a Plasma TV, or a Blu-Ray Player, let us know.  
• The kids have just 5 days of school left, and they are looking forward to the weeks of freedom ahead- and so is their teacher!

Partnership Update:

Thank you to everyone who has committed to supporting us!  We are so blessed to have each of you as ministry partners.  Here's where we currently stand.  We have raised about $23,000 of the total $80,000.  This leaves about $8,000 in one-time gifts, as well as $2,000 more in monthly support needed to fully fund all of our ministry and living expenses.  If you would like more details about our budget or expenses, please feel free to ask.  Here's a quick peek at some of our expenses for the first 60 days:

• Visas $10,000
