SOLD!!!

As of 4 o'clock today our house is officially sold. It was with mixed emotions, but we know that God sent the right family and we are so blessed that we can rent "our" house until we leave in October. God has knit all the pieces together as only he can so that everything is perfect. When we returned home the boys quickly took the sign out of the yard. Thank you to all of you who have prayed that we sell, meet our deadline, and leave the house with a good family. Your prayers have been heard and answered with God's abundance.

Go Vols

We had a great time at the UT football game Saturday. If you've known us long, you know we are die-hard fans. We're thankful to get to squeeze in a game or two before we leave. It just won't be the same listening to the games via computer.

OFFICIAL

We are now official IMB missionaries! We survived the week in Atlanta and are on information overload, but we were able to catch up with friends we made in Richmond in June and also meet the 3 other couple who will be serving with us in other areas of Western Europe. The appointment service on Wednesday night was fantastic and we were blessed that so much of our family, as well as a group from church, were able to come. We have so much to do in the next few weeks, but we return home with a renewed energy to "get with it" and prepare our hearts, minds, and our crate for what lies ahead. Thank you all for your love, support and prayers in the last week.

ONLY GOD!!!

It's official. We have a contract on our house!!! We should close on September 19. God has been with us every step of the way and again He has provided for us as only He can. The family who is purchasing our home have been such a blessing. God is using them to further our ministry by giving us such a peace of mind. We have prayed daily for our home to sell, but also for good neighbors. This family is all that and more. God has answered with abundance. Please continue to pray that the next few weeks leading up to the closing will go smoothly. We will be leaving Friday for our appointment week in Atlanta, so please pray for us and for my mom who will be keeping up with the boys.
