It's been a whirlwind couple of days. We got our Visa's on Tuesday, last day of school on Friday, Ruth and my anniversary on Saturday, and in the midst of all that, we've kicked into high gear booking our tickets for PNG, getting international medical and emergency evacuation insurance, and working towards getting all our other affairs in order before our trip.
Now that we officially have our visas, we have essentially completed the last major step of the process and there really isn't much left that would prevent us from being able to serve in PNG with Wycliffe. Consequently, we hadn't purchased plane tickets, switched medical insurance, purchased malaria and typhoid pills, and a handful of other necessary costly tasks until we knew we were fully authorized to leave. So that's made the last week a flurry of decision making!
Our official departure date is July 7th! We have just these next few weeks to get everything ready. We'll have some house sitters staying in our home so we have a lot of straightening up and cleaning to do. And I have some projects around the house that I've been "meaning" to get to for years that I don't want to leave for the house sitters to deal with so that's keeping us all busy.
Now that school it out, we're starting daily family meetings which will include a devotional and prayer, some Tok Pisin lessons, latest information and Q&A time, and a plan for the day with tasks for each family member. Please pray that these times are powerful for our family and that it brings us together in unity of purpose for what we believe God is calling us to.
