October Update

Hello again,

Our big summer project was selling our house and moving into a temporary home while we wait to make our big move to Uganda in the New Year. We've done pretty well: pictures are hung and we don't have too many boxes in our basement that need immediate attention;) Soon we'll be packing up again to put things into storage and many many bags to take with us.

Some new things are starting in our lives this fall: Becky has joined a running club and is braving the elements (think rain, rain, and more rain) keeping up with her homework. Jay is having gum surgery this month, which he is NOT looking forward to. We do have something lovely to look forward to this month: Jay's Mom will be visiting us for the Canadian Thanksgiving weekend! We are all excited to see her!

We want to say a huge thank you to all of you who joined with us as our support team: we are so grateful to you. We are so blessed to have so many of you praying for us and encouraging us as we navigate this unknown road.

Please continue to pray for us as we prepare to leave: that we would be strong in our marriage and as a family and that we would be strong in our faith. Also pray for more monthly financial supporters.

If you would like to join our team financially, the best way to give is with electronic funds transfer (EFT) or an E-Check (US) as PayPal charges a service fee on each transaction. All gifts are tax deductible.
