Catching Up

This poor little blog has been severely neglected!

Many things have happened since my last post back in (ahem) August. Since then, we have continued our application process with the mission agency we will serve with. In fact, in September, the whole family went to a week-long training session with the mission agency near Atlanta, GA.

It was an incredible experience to be there and gather information about the organization and to meet people and hear stories about how God is working around the world. Incredibly, our pastor's wife, Angela , volunteered to come with us for the week and watch the kids. That was a tremendous blessing and allowed Sarah and I to experience everything together instead of having to skip sessions to take care of the kids.

We found out the following week that we were officially accepted by the mission on the USA side! That was fantastic news and our next step was then to schedule a vision trip to Ireland with the entire family.

See the next post for details on that trip.
