Wow, has it really been that long since I posted in this group last? It's been a crazy several weeks for us. We were able to go to Washington, DC and applied for our visas on June 6th. We got back late Saturday night, and Elise and I turned around Sunday afternoon and did a week of church camp. Tonight starts VBS. I hardly know where I am with all the running around!
We are still on the runaround on getting insurance coverage for me, though Lisa and the kids now have it. I have a strong positive lead that I'll be following up on in the morning. On Tuesday, I will fly to Sofia for a two-week trip coinciding with groups from the WestArk Church of Christ in Ft. Smith, AR and the Northside Church of Christ in Spokane, WA. I'm very excited to be working with these teams, and hopefully I will be able to do some rudimentary translation when the need arises. Next weekend the groups will be hosting a seminar of the same kind we did last year, so your prayers for its success would be appreciated. The theme of the seminar will be on the authority and integrity of the scriptures. At the moment, I haven't been asked to participate, but I will be glad to support whatever the WestArk team has put together.
We have our one-way tickets to Sofia! We will fly out of the US on August 12. Lisa has given notice to her boss, and we're full steam ahead. The house has been on the market for a couple of weeks now; prayers that it will sell quickly would also be appreciated.
I promise to post messages and pics from Sofia later this week! Thank you for your prayers and support. May God bless you richly!
