4 months from Today

We leave 4 months from today! We have been busy around the house going through things sorting and packing up things we are taking that we don't need before we move. Hopefully this week we will get the tile in our bathroom and carpet in the bedrooms. I am busy today and tomorrow cleaning out the bedroom closets so we can paint them before the carpet comes. Hopefully in the next week or two we will get the outside of our house painted and fix a few little things on the inside and then put it on the market.

Besides getting the house ready to sell and packing we have been busy with church, the kids, work, as well as finishing our VISAs, finding medical insurance, sorting through thousands of pictures for a video to use to promote our mission, putting together our budget, researching shipping companies and so much more!

We are asking you to please continue to pray for us as we prepare to leave. Pray that in the midst of all the things that have to be done we won't miss anything that God has for us. We are also asking for you to pray for our children as we get closer to leaving. Please pray for them to have peace and joy in this move. It is a BIG move for all of us but a move that we know God has called us to.

We (colin included) were just talking about how weird it will be, that when we get back, the Raley's won't be there! It seriously is hard to imagine and am almost tearing up just thinking about it! I'm not going to get to say goodbye in person!!!!! bummer. You know we love you and are so excited about what is going on in your lives!
