A Great First Week!

Well, We have just completed our first week of orientation at the International Learning Center and everything went so smoothly! Lucas and Alexis loved their classes and adjusted very quickly to the new schedule. Dan and I have enjoyed the classes and making many new friends. Yesterday our family was first in line for the first of 3 immunization clinics. We all got shots except for Lucas and he was quite pleased to be left out! Alexis didn't mind the shot so much as long as she didn't have to wear that bandaid. :-)

We have another immunization clinic next Friday as well as a project we must complete to prepare to live in our West Africa region. We will be spending the weekend without electricity and cooking from scratch. That should be a fun adventure for all our us! Thank you for all your prayers! We have experienced God working in our lives each day. Thank you also for praying for Lucas and Alexis. God has really answered the prayers for them to transition smoothly to spending their days at school instead of with mom. Until next time!

A Day Of Blessings!

God is so SUPER! Thank you for all your prayers! Our flights into Virginia went so well yesterday and our kids loved every minute of it! Lucas talked nonstop during the entire 2 hour flight which did start at 5:30am. Waking our kids up at 3:30am didn't seem to slow them down a bit! Once we arrived in Norfolk, VA we took a 2 hour bus ride to the International Learning Center and again, Lucas talked the entire 2 hours. His curiosity was at an all-time high! We praise God for going ahead of us to make our day so smooth!

Pictures From the Past Few Weeks

Headin' Out Soon!

Hello everyone! We just received our new travel plans and we will be leaving Monday, May 12 at 5:30am. YIKES! That is SO early so please pray for our whole family to have good flights. We will arrive in Virginia Monday afternoon and we begin our classes bright and early Tuesday morning. Whew! The speed of our lives will double very quickly very soon!

Dan was able to speak at another church this past Sunday to gather more prayer support! We were very thankful for that opportunity! We head to Iowa this weekend to quickly see all of Dan's relatives. We'll get to visit several farms and our kids just love to see all the animals. Please continue to be in prayer for Lucas & Alexis as they adjust to all the changes. The past week has been rough for them at times. We are all ready for a regular routine! Thanks again for all your prayers!
