preparations

We are moving along in our visa application process. it has been a very involved process. we will be wrapping that up with bloodwork for all of us next week and hopefully putting in the application soon. Please continue to pray for us as we prepare to make decisions on what to ship ahead. A shipping container is scheduled to depart from the JAARS center in May in order for it to make it  to Ukarumpa by August. The big question is ; do we assume that we will be there in August and ship some things (mostly the children's things- to help with transition) or be "on the safe side" and wait until we have more support? Its really hard to be up in the air not knowing if we should start giving everything away or keep it "in case" we don't make the deadline. We have 69%  of our monthly budget now so we are encouraged that we will make it- but then what if we give everything away and then we don't go until January?? decisions decisions...
