Preparations, preparations, preparations

We continue to prepare for our great adventure in Kenya. Our house is in escrow--must be out August 7th. Hope to visit my uncle and aunt in So. California before we live temporarily in Portland. It will ibe an adventure living with family and "homeless" for the month and a half before we depart for Kenya and travel to So. California, visit with Stefanie's dad for a time and then off to Portland.

In the meantime we still wait for one more passport, need to get shots, apply for visas.

I think we are so busy preparing that we don't have time to stop and think.

Preparing for Mission

It is amazing how much is to be done and how everything is falling into place by God's grace. I have been called to serve as an instructor at the Matongo Lutheran Theological College in Kenya. The college trains pastors and deaconesses to serve God's people in the Evangelical Lutheran Church Kenya. We will be leaving in mid-September 2010 which only leaves us a few months yet God is always at work. A good friend reminded me that "God works while we are sleeping" and that is so true!

We needed to sell our house and by God's grace it will soon be in escrow. Out we must be by August 7th. Now comes the FUN of packing and moving what we don't sell into storage with family.

In all of this I am continually reminded--God is Good!
