Tomorrow's the Day!

Tomorrow's the day, folks! Bright and early tomorrow morning we will head for Chicago and finally land in Mali sometime Thursday morning. While in Mali we will secure our Guinea visas (pray we get them in a timely manner!), buy some basic supplies and then head to Guinea.

The last few weeks have flown by. We've spent every square inch of time we have fitting in friends and family; shopping for 12 volt fans that are compatible with our solar powered house, stocking up on our favorite foods to take with us, and eating our last few food cravings while we are here. We've found renters for our house and an amazing sitter for our dog. We feel like everything really came together at the last minute, which was no doubt God's provision for us!

We cannot believe how fast time has flown since we returned to the states in April. And while there are mixed feelings about saying goodbye to those we love and mourning leaving our own culture behind, we know we are following God's vision for us and trusting in Him to get us through the transitioning and rearranging of our lives. 

Continue to keep us in your prayers as we travel over the next week. And as always, we will do our best to keep you updated as internet allows!
