You Have Our Hearts!

Well, tomorrow some missionary friends of ours are leaving for their appointed country. We haven't met them in person yet, but we are excited to do so. We've watched them post on facebook about selling everything they own. We've watched them post on facebook about saying their good bye's to family and friends. We've also watched them post on facebook about packing the 15 suitcases that they are allowed to take with them as they move their family. It has been exciting to watch! Everytime I see their posts I put myself in their place. I think to myself, oh how exciting this must be! I can't wait to be so close! Although I have to admit, the posts of their good byes made me teary eyed....because I know some day soon we will be in their shoes. As they posted saying good bye to parents, siblings, friends...again, I put myself in their place...and I am not sure I can imagine how difficult this must be. And yet, we can't get away from it as a family. We all (well, those of us who can talk) say everyday..."we just can't wait to get there!" "we wish we were moving today!" We are all so excited to be in Swaziland! Our friends who are leaving tomorrow, the Goodlings, are also moving to Swaziland. We will all be working together, along with the Drews, Amanda Koll, and the Myers. Swaziland, you have our hearts, and we cannot wait to be there! Thanks to all of you who support us with prayers and finances. It's an honor to be able to serve in this capacity. We are beyond excited for all that God is doing and is going to do in that country. And to the Goodlings, we will see you on the other side of the world just as soon as we can!
