Leaving on a Jet Plane

Our bags are packed, we're ready to go.....we want to cry.

The journey continues. We are zooming end but had a rather crushing event today. We were planning on someone subletting our house in our absence, but this has fallen through one week before we leave. ARGHHHHHHH! Not enough time to have a big sale and vacate the house completely, what do we do? Not enough time to get another sub-renter - big complication for us but such is the life of a missionary.

With boxes all over the place, I heard something in the middle of the night I wanted to investigate, so without light (well, I walk that path all the time!) I rushed into the next room, right into a big plastic container, went down into another box full of things, and then into the floor. I just laid on the floor crying not knowing which part of my body to hold - my toe, my shins, my shoulder, my elbow, my head. I went back to bed throbbing all over but when I rolled over, my sheet was stuck to my throbbing toe - oh no. Blood....ripped my big toe nail right off - no wonder it hurt so bad.

We moved the boxes out of the path the next day.

Chaos.

One foot in one place, one foot in the other.

We are trying to visit each of the dear Mozambicans that we care about so much before we go, but even that is an impossible task. The days click by with great speed. One more week. We need to make a fast run to South Africa to pick up some church multiplication training materials we had translated into local dialects spoke in the north - we will try to do that Friday, maybe into Saturday, depending.

We submit to your plan dear Lord; please extend our days.

Dave & Ann
