So Blessed and Moving Quickly (written on Wednesday evening)

We are going to be traveling to Sardis FRIDAY and Leaving for the Dominican next TUESDAY! CRAAZY!! We have been very blessed the past few weeks as we always are by friends and family around us. Yesterday- Tuesday, Josh had 2 friends from Sardis, Mason and Jason, come help move some of the large items down to Sardis and also donate some. My sister Claire joined in the packing and motivating effort by coming Monday night till this morning, There is nothing like sisters! She came following Josh and I's weekend in Roanoke. As we worked to pack and pack and sort and pack, I came to realize how much a person could really live without. There are a few things we may have to borrow or buy but for the most part we will pack what we can and learn what we need.

Last night we were able to share with Leo church family and friends about our moving to the Dominican and serving at the Caribbean Mountain Academy. It was a precious night and we were able to share the talking responsibilities with our friends Jeff and Tina who are moving to the Dominican for a year to develop the program and train a director. This is such a gift since they are close friends of ours. We set up for about 20-30 people, by the time we began the night there was probably closer to 70; we will for sure miss our family and friends here in Leo.

Prayer Requests.
Ways to pray are endless. Pray for Josh and I's relationships, with each other, with the Lord, and with the staff and students. Under pressure a person tends to become better or bitter especially in their interactions with the people around them.
