While they are not the most interesting things in the world...appliances...we really do appreciate them! Especially when we think we may have to do without some of them! We originally thought we would be able to take our appliances (refrigerator, washer/dryer) saving us major $$$, then thought we hit a snag and couldn't. However, after talking with a Heart for Africa volunteer from South Africa, we learned that yes indeedy - our appliances will work - with a transformer of course! What a blessing!
Mark and I have just started a weekly class called Perspectives which teaches what the Bible has to say about missions. There is an enormous amount of reading and preparation involved, but we have been told it will be of great benefit to us. This certainly adds to our list of many things to do, but I am so thankful that we have been able to keep from feeling overwhelmed.
Please pray for us as we prepare for our move. Things are moving at warp speed now, and there is so much to do and many wise decisions to be made.
Jamie and Mark- I cannot wait to see God continue to do amazing things with your willing spirits in Africa! God seems bigger, more faithful,and more trustworthy to me as I get to read all that He has done for you so far !!!
