Welcome

I decided it's probably time to start a blog as Andy and I begin our journey to Southern Brazil.
A little history on where we are right now:
-We've been approved by the ACCF missionary committee to go to CLM
-We're hoping to leave for Brazil in August of 2009
-Meanwhile, I'm finishing my bachelor's at Illinois State University and Andy's working full time
-In mid-May we will leave for Colorado to attend the Missionary Training International prep courses on missionary life and language learning

A few prayer requests as we prepare:
-Continued growth in Christ as individuals and as couple
-God's timing in the visa process
-Learning Portuguese! Pray the Spirit will loosen our tongues to learn quickly and with God's ability not by our own strength
-Continued enthusiasm and confidence in God's calling for our lives
