Well it has been awhile since my last post. Quite a bit has happened. WE SOLD OUR HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!! As you can see I'm quite excited about that. :) Possession is June 15th, so we move in with my wonderful sister Glanda until our departure for PNG.
That's another big thing that has happened...we booked our flights!!!! Our plane leaves Winnipeg at 7:45am on July 17th. We're really looking forward to going, but not looking forward to the flying with the kiddos. We will be staying in a hotel for one night in Hong Kong to give the kids (and us) a reprieve from airports and airplanes.
We have also now received our entry visas and they are stamped into our passports! Yay!! So in other words we are completely set to fly to PNG! Crazy!! I can't believe we're at this place in our journey now...it seems like it took forever, and now it's coming so quick!
As far as support goes, we're at a little over 50% which means we'll survive out there. :) Our church had a fundraiser supper for us in May, and a total of $5600 came in which covers our airplane tickets and the hotel in Hong Kong (as well as a bit more to cover any additional flying expenses). We were so pumped about that figure!! God is good and He knows what we need. Overall it's been a crazy past 2 months. We are so grateful to friends and family who have encouraged us during this time.
Prayer requests:
- a bit more monthly support to come in
- packing and moving our stuff
- flying with the kiddos (patience for us and them)
- getting our household set up in PNG
Lots of love, Clint & Ro (and kiddos)
