4 MONTHS

Today marks 4 months in our journey to become International Missionaries of the 10 it will take. That is 2 months less than normal. (Harder than adoption, but much quicker, unless you count Emma Jane's unheard of adoption!) We are currently getting our reference packages into the hands of those who will be sharing what they know of our lives with the Trustees of the IMB. We have prayed over them and we have only two left to give out. Many will probably wonder why they were not asked. Well, for many we have not known you long enough.The IMB was specific in the length of our relationship, and many of the 34 we had to hand out were very specific people. It was actually very very hard to get all 34 and meet their criteria. We also could not use family.

Next up is to spend the next two months getting things organized and then in December we go to Richmond.
