22 Days and a Bowl of Cheerios

Woo Hoo...We have plane tickets...If all goes as planned we fly out Saturday, Sept. 5th. There is tons left to do...it's a good thing I work best under pressure. Only with God's help will we be able to fit ALL the school books, our water purifier, bedding and other necessities into our luggage and stay under weight....this should be interesting. Does anyone out there have useful knowledge about packing large things for overseas travel....like a keyboard. ~HELP~ We are excited about this Journey and pray that MANY would join us....as Jesus leads!!!!

Kelly!!! We had the best surprise today that YOU are responsible for. Thank you our dear friend!! I just realized I don't even have your phone number?!

How you had the presence of mind to bless others when you are up to your eyeballs in the details of your HUGE move it beyond me.

Can any of it be shipped - - or is the price exorbitant? When our older daughter was in Japan, we shipped some that took three months by ship - - those were seasonal clothes. Would you have to pay taxes to receive things if they were mailed? Do packages arrive safely or do they get "lost"?

I am proud of your obedience but also praying for your extended family as they will miss you very much!

Love to you and Miss Kenli!

I am so excited for you but as others have stated I am sad for me. I am going to miss you both so very much. However, I want to thank you for your faithfulness - being patient and obedient before our Great God has now provided answers, a place and now a timeline. I love you guys! Maybe you will have room for a mission monkey!
