Where we are going...

We have made some loose "plans", but are confident in the mighty planner in our life (Isaiah 26:8-9). I will explain our very loose plan but in light of knowing the future is very unclear.

We have been enjoying finding a new normal in our "stay at home" life. We enjoy down time and trying to invest in time with each other and our nanny/friend and her family, Angie, Alexi, Alexander, and Alondra. The kids keep us from getting bored. There is always someone up for a game or snacks or something. We enjoy time together playing basketball, swimming, exercising, cooking, relaxing, and anything else that pops up. We will also end up celebrating at least 4 birthdays during this season. Josh, Alexi, Alexander, & Oliver. Tomorrow we will celebrate Alexanders birthday with some good 'ole American brownie sundaes.

So for the updates on our future -

Where are the Ramsier's going?
So we had planned to fly with a missionary flight on May 12th but with everything with the virus, we have been on hold with what to do. A few weeks ago Josh and I felt God gave us a plan to move to Sardis with a small amount of stuff for the summer and then Josh and I will come back towards the end of the summer and get the rest of our stuff and say some goodbyes that we will miss out at this time. We booked a flight back to Sardis for May 3rd. It is very possible this flight will be cancelled as the time gets closer. As we were looking for flights, there were less than 5 that would be flying out of the country at this point daily. Any planes are coming in empty and then taking any United States Citizens back. The reality is most people that have wanted to go to the States have probably already left; but we will see what May 3rd will bring.

What to pray for.
Please join us in praying for this time of "See you laters". It sounds much nicer to just be in denial and then rip the bandaid off when we need to, but the reality is; it is hard to ignore that we are looking at moving to another chapter in our life. Please pray that God continues to draw us closer to Him in new ways. It has been incredible the ways God has drawn us closer to each other and to Him. I am thankful for this time of joy. Josh has not found it easy to not be working, but he has done incredibly well in stretching himself and making the best of the life we are given currently.

Ways you can help - 
We will continue to be accepting donations as we start up our new life in the US. We have talked to a few people that have transitioned in the last few years. They have talked about how much more expensive it is than we can ever expect. We are not worried because He always provides; if God puts it on your heart to donate over the next few months; you can do this though the Crosswinds website (https://crosswinds.org/support-us/staff-support/). We will be able to accept financial support through the end of June.

Of course, we need the prayers and connections. Thank you so much for the love and support and those that have been alongside us through these past 6 years, and many of our different seasons.
