What an exciting few days it has been for us! With the help of friends, we successfully packed up the house and got the U-Haul loaded. Sarah and the boys went to the airport at 4pm to catch their 5:40 scheduled flight....which ended up not leaving until 10:30! I don't know how she survived that one. I stayed the night at our friends house (thank you Wittwers!) and drove 14 hours yesterday in the truck and stayed in Baker City, OR with Sarah's brother, then continued on to Enterprise this morning and got the truck unloaded & returned.
Our car sold for more than we thought it would, which will help us in getting a car once we get to Ireland - that was a real blessing!
AND...we received the go-ahead from our sending agency to purchase our airfare to Ireland since our support is at 93% and the exchange rate has improved! We bought our tickets today and will be departing from Portland on July 26 to Dublin. Praise God!
We still have 7% more that needs to be raised to get us to 100% of our financial requirement - this is about $300 per month.
This is a quick post, but we are all feeling a little wiped out and there is still much to do to prepare for our journey.
We do want to thank everyone who has been supporting us financially and praying for us - without you, this could not happen. Our God is good and it is our prayer that you will be blessed as you are a blessing to us.
Will update again soon!
