We are awaiting Michelle and Aaron's arrival this evening. For the next two days the four us will be engaged in more pre-field training/team building before we head to the Congo next week. One of the staff from ReachGlobal, Lois, will be facilitating this time. We are looking forward to more time with Aaron and Michelle before we are Africa-bound and think this time will be very beneficial.
Sam and I successfully moved into my grandma's guest house this week, too. It is a huge blessing to have this home, rent-free in this time of transition. My grandma's property is beautiful and it is incredibly quiet and peaceful out here. We have only been here three nights and have commented repeatedly at how relaxing and peaceful it is to be here. God knows what we need at this time and I personally feel like living in this setting is helping me to think clearly and connect to the Lord in a refreshing way.
Things to specifically pray for us right now:
* That this weekend is encouraging, refreshing and that we cover all the topics that are important before we leave.
* Sam and I have a lot to do next week to get ready to leave for the Congo now that we are moved out of our apartment. Pray that we prioritize well and work well with each other.
Other fun (and busy) stuff:
* Sam's birthday was yesterday and it was fun to bake a cake for my husband. :)
* Today is Sam's last day of work!
* Our 1 year anniversary will be Sunday (which is hard to believe). We didn't imagine this is what we would be doing a year after our wedding. We plan to celebrate on Monday.
* Sam gets to go on a short fishing trip August 7th and 8th with my brothers and dad.
* Starlite Radio (Sarah's brother's band) is having a big concert at the Sinnissippi Band Shell next Thursday, August 6th @ 7:30 PM. We are letting people know because it will be a great concert and a good opportunity to see us before we leave until October.
