April News

Friends!

It’s April (and I pulled a good April fool on Byron! See “This Morning” on my personal blog

This past weekend I purchased our tickets to Tanzania! We fly 14 May. Six weeks and counting! We are deliriously excited and significantly freaked out. Agh!

What remains to be done?

*Quite a few dinners and coffees with people that we need and want to see.
*The final decisions/arrangements for shipping, insurance etc.
*Final decisions/orders for school materials.
*Paperwork/student loans and setting things in place for Trevor next year at Westmont.
*Shopping for what he needs to take to college with him.
*About one million injections we need to endure between the six of us.
*Dental appointments for most of us.
*The small matter of getting the website up. (Call me Procrastinator with a capital P!)
*Send another newsletter out snail mail.
*Welcome the Russells when they arrive for a couple of months in the States.
*Wild Hope board meetings.
*Making sure we haven’t let anything undone!
*And more time with family :-)

Things to celebrate!

*Wild Hope has purchased its second Land Cruiser with funds we’ve raised so the car we’ll drive will soon be shipped from Gibraltar to Tanzania!
*Even though we purchased our tickets fairly late, we got great rates.
*We have many kind supporters and praying friends.
*God is faithful even though I doubt, fear, shake my fists at him, worry, stress and generally make a mess of this walk of faith.

I’ll keep it short now.
