Summer!

Matthew and I have begun work on letters to churches and we received another update about how many people are supporting us and such.
Seeing that list really just blows me away for two reasons. The first being that I cannot believe we are actually going until I see that we are making tangible steps toward actually getting there! Then it hits me in a huge wave!
The second being that I feel very blessed to have people who are so willing to help us even though many of them have met only one of us (since we grew up on opposite ends of the same state) and some of them have met neither of us! That is a lot of trust and a lot of generosity that we have seen!
I feel like we should update more on here but it's summer so things are a little slow right now. They will speed up though! I'm fairly convinced of that!

Support Letters Again!

Hello from Amanda!

We just got an update from WP and we both feel very blessed to be able to say that we already have supporters! I have gotten some very encouraging mail and Matthew has gotten email and phone calls all from people encouraging us and praying for us.

This has been very blessed and is looking good so far!

Matthew and I were also able to meet up with a friend of his from Russia and that was a good time indeed!
