Homeless! This last weekend we had our garage sale as we are in process of selling our house and getting rid of years of junk as we prepare to leave for Ethiopia.
As we were putting things on the chopping block for sale, the girls were trying to rescue them. Our house closes the end of July and we hope to leave for Ethiopia mid August.
We have given them so much space and told them they can pack whatever they want in their allotted space. Sarah will likely fill her space with seeds as she seems to be a gardener at heart and is already planning her mango trees, vegetable garden and flower gardens. Sue and I have zero interest in gardening.
This next week we will be going to a Bingham reunion. Bingham is the boarding school that Bob went to in Ethiopia as a boy. He has not seen most of his classmates in 40 years. It will no doubt be a memorable time. Bob will be teaching computers at Bingham this coming year in addition to getting plans and approvals for the work in northern Ethiopia working with street kids, orphans and women-at-risk.
We would like to be at 100% support status by the end of July so feel free to let others know who may be interested in Ethiopia, the AIDS epidemic now facing that country or are interested in praying for us.
Thanks again for your interest, prayer and support. Pray for our work permits as we were told this week that we would need to have the permits before we leave, even though we were told earlier that we could come on a business visa and get the work permits in country.
