Six Weeks and Counting...

SIX WEEKS FROM TODAY WILL BE OUR FIRST FULL DAY IN HONDURAS! It is crazy to think about our journey over the last few years, the things we have experienced as a married couple, and the fact that we are only six weeks away from leaving the country. We are also down to our last 12 days in Seattle, and have a very full schedule with something scheduled almost every night. Here's what our last couple weeks look like:

Thu 2/10 - Dinner with Danielly and Ian, Riley's play
Fri 2/11 - Lunch and hanging out with the Lees
Sat 2/12 - Dinner with Laurie and AJ in Marysville
Sun 2/13 - Dinner with the Lowerys
Mon 2/14 - Dentist appts for Joseph and Hailey, sharing with Julie's Canyon Hills Community Church Life Group
Tue 2/15 - Dinner with the Trimbles
Wed 2/16 - Dinner with Danielly, Sylvia, and Sylvia, small group Bible Study
Thu 2/17 - Dinner with the Cacanindins
Fri 2/18 - Dinner with the Lees' and Andersons
Sat 2/19 - Going away party for us at the Parkers
Sun 2/20 - Dinner with the Steeles
Mon 2/21 - Micah's doctor appointment, taking dinner to the Gonzalez' and hopefully seeing their new baby, Jacob
Tue 2/22 - Nothing scheduled...YET
Wed 2/23 - Our last small group Bible Study
Thu 2/24 - Dinner with the Costellos
Fri 2/25 through Monday 2/28 - Pack, clean, and leave for Oregon

Wow, that sure looks like a lot more when you write it down. However, we have to eat dinner every night anyway, so it is nice to have so many friends inviting us over for dinner so we can spend some time with them before we leave.

We had such a great time this last Monday sharing about Honduras with a bunch of friends who we met for the first time that night. One of the couples at our church have a son and daughter-in-law who attend a different church and they invited us over to their Life Group to share. It was great to have the opportunity to talk about what we'll be doing, and the group was so encouraging. It is amazing to know that even though we go "alone" that we have so many friends and family back home that are praying for us and encouraging us. We are very blessed.

Over the last six weeks, we will be spending time in Seattle, Eugene, McMinnville, Portland, Nashville, and Chicago (where we catch our flight to Honduras). We are excited to spend time together as a family (the best part is that I won't be working). We are excited to cram some hours of Rosetta Stone in before we leave. We are excited to visit our families and friends. It will be a lot of fun!
