Hey Everyone! Welcome to our blog! I thought this might be an easier way to keep you all updated on our journey to the mission field in Peru. We just spent last week at the candidate conference. We were overloaded with information, had small group sessions, and interviews. During this time, we chose our top three job picks and officially applied for the positions. We felt very good about our top choice and anticipate a job offer in the next few weeks. The conference was great as we got to hear so many mature and experienced missionaries speak and help us through the process. We very much felt God's affirmation on this decision and a lot of the fears and doubts have been eradicated now. The board made sure we knew going in that this conference wasn't a spiritual retreat- but a working conference. However, we really felt encouraged and uplifted and challenged by what we heard this week. We also spent some time with some great folks and are looking forward to Orientation in January and getting to know them all a little better. Please pray for us as we wait these next 2+ months: For a renter for our house, for finding room to store all our junk, for finishing out current jobs/ministries stong, for saying goodbye to family and friends. We cherish your prayers! Thanks!
