Good News!

We received our visas for France! Our mail was held while we were at the Nationals last week, so we didn't get our mail until Saturday...and there was the Express Mail envelope. It was a little nerve wrecking and a little exciting to open the envelope. Inside was the exciting news though--our visas were approved. It is no doubt in answer to your prayers! They were approved more quickly than we had anticipated.

After we received the visas, we began searching for plane tickets. Trying to find a good deal on international plane tickets during tourist season with only 1-2 weeks notice is not an easy task. But again God was faithful and we found reasonable tickets, so we will be flying to France on August 7th! Our team mates, the Portells, left this past Tuesday and arrived safely. They have already begun looking for housing and have several appointments set up with relators. Please pray that God will provide us with suitable and affordable housing in the neighborhoods that He wants us in.
