Bolivia Bound!!

Well, the time has finally come for us to pack up our house and head out of town! The Lord has been faithful throughout the last two years of preparation and we are thrilled to start this new phase of the journey he has us on. Purchasing the tickets turned out to be a bigger fiasco then we anticipated, but they were finally issued last week. Our plan is to leave for Michigan on Monday the 16th. We will drive through the night so that we get there on the 17th. This is our normal cross-country routine, it's tough on everyone, but it's so nice to get it over with quickly! We will spend our time in Michigan having some fun with family and of course...saying goodbyes. Our flight leaves on the afternoon of the 24th. We will fly through the night and arrive in Cochabamba on the morning of the 25th. This all seems very surreal yet! We are so excited to get down there and acclimate to our new surroundings. As we adjust, we look forward to our heavenly father drawing us closer to him. He is the reason for all missions and we feel honored to be used in Bolivia.
Thank you to all of our family, friends and supporters. We could never have gotten to this point without all your help. We can't wait to keep you all updated on what God is accomplishing through the IOU ministry. He is so incredibly beautiful and sovereign. Praise Him from whom all blessings flow!
