God has been so faithful this past week as we packed up our house - who knew that it could be so much work to pack up a tiny little home? But we are mostly there - having divided things into save and store, get rid of, and pack to take...all the while trying to keep in mind the size restrictions for our luggage and trying to limit our storage. Whew! It has been rather exhausting!
Some praises we would like to share with you:
- Our time here in the US has been so wonderful - and Geoff and the Marshall family feel equally blessed to have each other! :-)
- Our visa paperwork has all been worked out, Dar Gail's in a miraculously short time!
- God provided a renter for our home!
- We are nearly all packed and ready to go - with suitcases packed to the exact amount (thanks to Geoff's handi-dandi hanger scale! :-))
Over the next two days we will be saying our goodbyes to friends and family here in Florida. Please pray for us! Then we set off to Wisconsin for a few days to visit some of Dar Gail's family there before leaving for the UK after more goodbye's. Then the hello's begin - With a month in N. Ireland/Ireland for Dar Gail to get some time with Geoff's family and friends, and then on to England where we'll be spending the majority of the next year with Dar Gail in school. We have quite the adventure ahead of us!
Please pray for us:
- Goodbye's
- Comfort for Friends and Family left behind
- No trouble with our luggage (pray they don't hassle us regarding the weight!!!)
- Safety in our travels
- Sale of Geoff's truck and Dar Gail's car (and for Dar Gail not to stress as God has this under control!)
- Adjustments for Dar Gail in a new country
Thank-you all so much for standing with us in this time. God has been so good to us and we are excited about what He has ahead, but at the same time know that often that involves sacrifice. Pray that we will willingly and joyfully go where He calls!
Blessings to you all,
Geoff & Dar Gail
