The Home Stretch

For 3 months now, Tony and I have been living out of a suitcase.  Everything that we own is stored in totes and fit in a small walk-in closet.  The month of August we counted at least 9 different places that we stayed.  From Hemet, CA to Appleton, WI and all kinds of places in between, life has been a tiring adventure.  It is almost hard to think that there could be another way of living, perhaps a more normal way of living.  After 5 months of fundraising and jumping from here to there trying to keep our heads above water, we have finally reached the home stretch.  South Africa is practically in the palm of our hands.  Even though we still have a percentage of our support to raise, we have received the green light to purchase our plane tickets.  We are confident that God will raise up the people who will help us reach our financial goal this month before we leave.  Right now Tony and I are focused on applying for our Visas, saying goodbye to friends and family, and gettin ready for our move.

If all goes well with the Visa process we plan to leave sometime between Oct 1-15.   So, that is all for now folks.  We will keep you all posted. :)
