Small steps...

Our house is officially on the market. There has been a healthy amount of interest, as several couples have been back twice to get a second look. As of today, no offers have come in. However, we remain confident that the house will rent or sell before we head back to Colorado in January. It has been hard getting the house spruced up, knowing that we aren’t going to live there again. The house has been a huge blessing to us and we are grateful for the time we have had, but we are sad to be giving it up. As we have cleaned, we have prayed for the next family that will make this house their home. It’s exciting to think of the memories a new family will make in the home and that helps us get through the waves of emotion.

Now we're cookin...

Last weekend we helped Kasey's dad cook 45 Boston Bucks in preparation for our BBQ plate fundraiser next weekend. By the time we finished chopping all the meat, we had 60 gallons of chopped BBQ. We're hoping to sell 500 plates with all of the proceeds going towards our support. We can't thank Kasey's family enough for all that they are doing in preparation for the big event. Her Dad and Stepmom have organized the whole event and several members of the family have helped by selling tickets, advertising, chopping meat, and cooking all the side items.

We'll spend next weekend in Laurinburg putting the BBQ plates together and then sell them Friday and Saturday at her parent's church. Then on Sunday we'll have an opportunity to thank the church for their past support and talk about our time in India. Please pray for some hungry people to come by the church next weekend to not only buy BBQ but to also hear about our ministry.
