DID YOUR HEAR?

Did you hear we have tickets????? We leave Houston on April 4, 2012 and arrive in Uganda on Friday morning, April 6!!!

Did you hear we are packing after unpacking so many times? We have determined so many things in our lives as "unnecessary", so our priorities change in what we plan to take with us.

Did you hear we had more garage sales? Dustin came home from working in AL, so we had a tool sale. It was hard to see him sell and give away what he has used over the past 25 years in this house, but the joy in knowing we are following God's call is so much more joyful than the sadness.

Did you hear we met people at the garage sales we may have never met otherwise? People that will support us, adopted adults, new friends, neighbors. One neighbor came over after the sale to "wish us luck". She told us she has enjoyed watching our little girl in her many outfits, dancing outside. We had no idea we were being watched, what a lesson  learned!

Did you hear our oldest son, Kirby, is going with us? We are so overjoyed that we will be together! Not so overjoyed that our oldest daughter and her family will still be here. What do you think, should we pray they come to Africa? No, we pray that God's will be done in her family and that they continue to serve Him how and where He desires. She is the first in our family to go to Africa 13 years ago.....a deposit of things God began and is continuing!!

Did you hear Mary was invited to speak to ladies at a church that has supported Amani Baby Cottage for years? The ladies have been praying for specific children, even have all the pics from the website printed and on the wall! It was such a blessing to be able to tell them in person how wonderful they are to pray for the children. The offering they gave me was amazing and precious. I was truly blessed to be with them.

Did you hear? Did you hear? We did, and now we go. Please continue to pray with us. We would love to HEAR from YOU!!!
