waiting....waiting...waiting...

So...quick little update...waiting for the school to approve our internship choice. Our paperwork for PBT is due tomorrow, so fingers crossed! If we don't have the approval by tomorrow morning, we'll go ahead and call Nathan Davenport, our missions rep, to explain what is going on, see if he can buy us an extra day or two.

Also, we are still searching for a church. We have, however, found one in Sugar Grove, IL, that seems like it may be a great fit for us! We are very interested, and would like to continue checking it out over the upcoming weeks. Sometimes work gets in the way, and we are attempting to properly balance it without being irresponsible on either end.

So excited for all the things it is possible for us to learn through this amazing process that God hands us, and called חיים.


Peace and blessings.

And the Application Process Goes On!

We are in the process of filling out all of our paperwork for PBT...still. (:

There is so much! But we are so excited, and we can't wait for everything to be completed, and we are hoping and praying and crossing our fingers for those acceptance letters that will make us jump a little inside. (:

Please continue to pray for us and with us, as Joy begins her new job at the Disney Store on Sunday. This is an exciting opportunity for her to spread the Word of God in a friendly, yet not so Gospel-friendly, atmosphere!

We also ask that you pray for our fridge. Weird? Maybe. But we still need you to do it! The past few days it has been leaking water all over the kitchen floor. The maintenance guy stopped by today to check it out, and he said that the electricity in that particular outlet was only working sometimes, meaning that the fridge only got to run sometimes. He replaced the bracket, said it should be fine after that, and to call if there were any more problems. We're hoping that the water that is on the floor right now is just leftovers from when it ran under the stove. We shall see in a few short days. (:

Thank you so much for your prayers and support and encouragement!

Godspeed.

And the semester goes on...

We are almost done!!!!! In just four short weeks, Nicholas will have his bachelor's in Communications Studies, and in another week after that, I will officially be a senior. We are so excited!

We pray that God will continue to keep us in His will, and we are still waiting. We will be finishing our applications soon, and sending them in, hoping and praying for the best!

This is just to let you know that we are still very much praying and desiring to go to Papua New Guinea, and trusting God that He will provide!

Thanks to you who are keeping up on all of this; it is truly an encouragement knowing that there are people praying for us!
