Update

Just a quick update ...

House
After 23 days on the market we have a contract on our house. The inspection was last night and we should hear how everything went this afternoon.

We got word yesterday that the house in South Africa (See post below) we thought we might be able to buy now has a buyer in South Africa. We are completely trusting the Lord to provide a house for us in His timing. The director of Samaria Mission and his wife have looked at 4 houses this week that are for sale. We will wait and see.

Phone
My last day at work is today and this past Sunday they had my family come on the stage and they presented us with a vonage phone. This will allow friends and family to call us using a local number and we will be able to call home at the price of a local call. We are so thankful for our church family and the gift they gave us.

Car
We will not be able to take our cars with us to South Africa. We are going to sell them before we leave and use the money to buy a car in South Africa that we can use in town. We will also eventually need to buy another car that we will travel back and forth to Mozambique in. This will have to be a 4 X 4.

We talked to one of the missionaries yesterday who will be coming to the states around August. He has asked us to to buy his car, it is a VW Golf 3. We are praying through that decision. Of course pictures to follow.

Garage Sale
This Friday and Saturday our Mozambique mission team will have another garage sale to help raise money for the team this summer to come in July. We are excited to see how the Lord will use the sale to provide for the team.

T-shirt Fundraiser ...
We are selling t-shirts to raise money for our move. So far we have raised over $1300. Let us know if you would like one. Here is what they look like (the splatters will not be on the sleeve) ...



Praises ...
We have a contract on our house and we are set to close June 5th

We will be speaking at a local church in town this Sunday


Prayer Requests ...
For continued health for our family

For our monthly support to continue to come together
(If 160 people would give $25 a month then we would be fully funded.)

For our funding to come together for us to ship our household items

For the people of Mozambique, that there hearts would be open to the TRUTH

Hey Alicia! How much are the shirts? I have some friends going to Africa soon, and will see if they want one.

Luv!
