Only one more month left.
It is Friday and we have finished our A.C.E. curriculum training. Woohoo! It was a week jam packed of information and homework... yes HOMEWORK! We now fully appreciate and understand what our students will be going through because for our training, we worked following all the same procedures. It was difficult but informing and spiritually uplifting. We both feel more prepared and excited for the work that lies ahead of us. We are also more convinced that God is alive and working in this mission.
Wednesday evening we went and visited with Whitehouse Church of Christ in Whitehouse, TN. It is a small congregation that Jake attended when he taught atWhitehouse Christian Academy back in the day (10 + years ago). After class we had a meeting with the elders and presented our work and need in Ecuador. It was such an uplifting experience to hear people want to support us dispite being a small congregation and a maxed out budget. We thank God for the hearts of the people at Whitehouse.
In other news...
Many of you have inquired about updates on the status of our house.
Well, so far we have had three offers come in. Unfortunately, they were all substantially lower than what we were asking. One of them was even $30,000 less! We have made counter offers so we shall see what will come of them. Our wonderful realtor, Patti Lawing, has arranged an open house on Sunday, so we hope that will put the fire under the people who have made offers.
We have a couple more road trips ahead of us, one to OKC and another to San Antonio/Houston. After that we will be putting Jake's truck for sale. Let us know if you are interested or put the word out there for us! Red 2003 Chevy Silvarado 132k, everything works great!
We will continue to keep everyone posted!
