The BIG move has begun!

We have fortunately checked off some of the more important items off our list, such as selling the house and having our first big garage sale, so we praise God for those blessings.  It's weird going through every single little item in your house and deciding what pile it goes in - take, store, sell, or throw away!  It has been refreshing, though, to reminisce over meaningful items that may have been shoved in the back of a closet, and to be released of unnecessary or unneeded items.  

This month is full of birthdays, too!  Ashley's birthday was on the 16th, Casper's on the 18th, and Zoe will be 1 on the 23rd!    

Here are some other updates:

  • We are blessed to have found a place to stay in SA already.  We are familiar with the house and its surroundings, which will help us so much.  
  • Ashley finished her last day of teaching on the 17th.
  • Casper will be finishing up with teaching tennis lessons over the next month.  
We thank God for all the relationships and blessings He has bestowed upon us while in Abilene and the USA.  We believe that many of these relationships will continue to grow.  It is sad to start saying goodbye to everyone we love and have gotten to know the last few years, but also exciting to think about what the Lord is calling us to do.  

We want to say thank you to everyone that has invested, helped, and served us in so many ways throughout all these years.  God has used you a lot to shape who we are and what we are doing today.
