A quick update....

We are doing well and still moving forward.  We have a trip to Illinois (June 18-25) to visit with family and friends soon, as well as share about Makarios.  We will also be going to Austin, TX (July) for an orientation for Makarios, and a few weeks after that to MTI (missionary training institute), which is 3 weeks long.  So, I believe all the days in between are left for packing, preparing, and visiting with family and friends!!! 

Our house is still on the market ...its awaiting that special buyer :)  .  We are at about 25% partnerships.
Seems like an unattainable task to our earthly minds ( our desire is for the house to be sold and be fully funded by the end of July), but it is a small task for the Creator of ALL things. 

This whole process has been "busy".  Yet, we have seen the Lord work in many ways thus far and so thankful for His provisions and His love.  It has been so encouraging seeing the Body come together through prayer, cards, words, partnerships, even babysitting so I can pack one box without interruptions!
To see His Word lived out in our friends and family has been a blessing in itself.  It has also been a blessing getting to share with unbelievers.

The kids seem to be more excited and are enjoying learning about the Dominican and the Spanish language!  It is cute to hear our two year old counting in Spanish or trying to say "thank you" in Spanish. 

The team that went to the DR from CUC Sunday School in May gave a slide show presentation at Colonial this past Sunday.  We decided to sit in and listen.  I'm telling you, sitting there looking at the kids, some who are orphans, made me want to get on the plane the next day!   He had given us peace that is only growing and we cannot wait to get there and love on the Dominican and Haitian people.  We cannot wait to share the love of Christ.  Join us in praying that all these details, big and small, fall into place and that we would "not be anxious about anything, but in supplication and prayer!".
