When It Rains it Pours (or SNOWS!)

With less than three weeks to go before graduation, it's getting a little hectic around here.  We just wanted to update you on what has gone on this past week, as many exciting things happened.

We graduate on the 12th of December, and as we have all been IN school, we saw that if possible, we didn't want to take our boys OUT of school, mid-way through the year.  We asked permission to stay in student housing for the remainder of the school year, and this past week we got permission to do so until the end of May.  Along with staying here, Bill had final meetings this week and was accepted to participate in an internship program with the Missionary Training Center (MTC).  While his job description isn't finalized, some of his duties will include working with the Afternoon Work Program (AWP), some teaching opportunities, and just learning from the training staff.  He is looking forward to all of it.

Also this week, Bill sent our letter of intent to the Paraguay field.  This is the first step in the process of actually getting to Paraguay.  After years of praying and waiting, we can hardly believe that we are at this stage.  AND, along with everything else, we handed in our application to join New Tribes Mission of Canada.

WHEW!!  That is just alot going on all at once.  When it rains it pours ( or rather it snows!) I guess.  As much as we have enjoyed the training and living here, we are looking forward to the next chapter that God has for us.  We would greatly appreciate your prayers as we get ready for another transition.
