Things have been rolling along nicely with the sale of the house, our inspections went well, the buyers financing is going through, and we're already starting to move some things out. We talked with Heart 2 Heart last week and we both thought that it would be great to pick a departure date. We will be leaving on September 5 to go to Romania and start our ministry there. We are so excited! We will have a few weeks to settle in, then we'll go through the annual staff training and then we'll begin our language lessons. Sometime in mid August we will go to California to get everything set up and for more training. We will probalby spend some time in Cali visiting some friends, we're excited to see them too! Time will fly between now and then especially since Mark will be busy at work until we leave. Praise God for so many things coming together and for His rich blessings in our lives.
Last night we met the people who will be buying our house and it was great. They came over to see the items we fixed from the inspection, and we got a chance to tell them what we're doing and that they're the answer to our prayers. They seemed very excited about our house and told us some of the things they liked about it: the spacious kitchen, the beautifully finished basement, the big lot and country setting, and the already planted garden, among others. We showed them the garden and told them what the plants were and how we make compost in our compost box. Their 5 year old daughter was really excited to see her room in the basement, she loved how big it was. They truly are the ones God had in mind because everything about the house fits what they wanted. It ended up being really fun meeting them and showing them around, and we look forward to seeing them again at closing.
It is so exciting to see how God's plan for us is unfolding. Things are becoming more clear to us as far as God's timing and what He has been teaching us through this. Thanks so much for praying for us thank you for your continued prayers.

I am happy for you. My prayers.
Just to clarify, we will be in California for a week or two in August and then we'll come back home before we leave for Romania on September 5.
