We're back from our Christmas hiatus and gearing up for a busy month. Two weeks ago, we left Indianapolis and head to Ohio to spend time with our families. It was a very rewarding time for both us. Always in the back of our minds was the realization that this will probably be the last Christmas we spend in the States for a while. It was an extra blessing to spend New Year's with Kathi's entire family, which hasn't happened since our wedding three years ago.
We'll have a packed January too. We'll be staying in Ohio traveling around reconnecting with various support churches. Then, we're planning on going back to Indianapolis the first week of February to speak at a few churches. Our hope is that by then we'll be ready to go to our Pre-Field Training in North Carolina on February 13th. Be praying for that in particular. We have to raise just a little bit more monthly support before GEM will release for training. But, we're confident that we'll be able to attend.
So, another New Year's has come and gone. This time was a little different because of the anticipation of what 2009 will bring. We believe that 2009 will mark the year that we finally move into full-time missionary work in Germany. We are so excited. We are so grateful to all of you who have share this journey with us. Next New Year's in Cologne!
