Weekly update 3/10/08
This week in the Life of Jeff and Heather.
Boxes shipped, plane tickets in hand, team members in process, and goodbyes started.
Our boxes left our home last week and they should be getting on a boat today (Monday March 10th). We ended up with 13 boxes packed and shipped out. We have another 5 weeks before leaving but due to shipping time we needed to get them headed over before us.
Our plane tickets arrived in the mail and so now we have them in our hands just waiting on the day we get to use them.
Some wonderful people from our church came over last Saturday and helped us move out of our trailer and into the cabin and we are now living in the cabin and getting it ready to be used by vacationers.
This past week we spent Thursday Friday and Saturday delivering some of our stuff to St Louis, some of it went to family for long term storage and some of it went as gifts to family. When we left the goodbyes started because some of Heather’s family is not able to come to Atlanta to see us off. It is difficult to say goodbye but we are excited to be leaving soon.
We have also talked to a young couple that has been interested and they have told us they are beginning the process of joining our mission board so they can join us in the Philippines. We will provide more details after they are “officially” accepted by the board.
Our support has also grown to just over 95% leaving us needing less than $150.00 per month to be at full support. Our departure fund has also grown to the point that we only need about another $6,000.00 to have every thing we budgeted.
Please keep praying for our last minute details. We have lots to accomplish before getting on that plane but we know God will provide and take care of us.
Thank you all for your prayers.
