News!

Hello to all!

I know it's been awhile since my last post . . . things have been pretty slow around here in the missionary department.  But they're picking up again, and I have some news!

First off, I'm scheduled for a travel consult and my first round of shots at the health department next Wednesday (5/8).  Prayers for that would be very much appreciated!

Also, in order to officially join the CD 100, I have to have an interview with Mrs. Harner.  She first mentioned this to me in an email the beginning of last month.  She said we'd probably have to do it over Skype, since she lives 'way down in southern Ohio.  I said that was fine - she's a busy person, so I told her to let me know when she had some free time so we could get it done.

I didn't hear anything from her after that.  I was beginning to get frustrated.  I wanted to take the time during the interview to ask her what I needed to be doing to get ready for Spain, but I couldn't have an interview if she didn't respond!  On Sunday I was venting this to a lady from church (one of those whom I asked to pray for me as a part of the CD 100 process) and she was able to sympathize with me.  She told me to drop Mrs. Harner a reminder email to see if I could get things moving again.

The next night (this past Monday - before I wrote Mrs. H.) I was checking email and found, lo and behold, an email from Mrs. Harner telling me we could Skype this week or early next!  Also attached was the form I need to fill out in order to go on the Spain trip. ;) 

If there's nothing else I've learned so far, it's that God is absolutely, totally good to His children - giving them everything they need, even if they never think to ask Him for them. :)

So I have the form all filled out.  I have a video from the CMA website to watch, then I can email the form back to her and I should be set from there.  We might have the interview Friday evening, but it will most likely be Sunday or Monday. 

Like I said, prayers for the shots will be much appreciated.  Also, please pray that Mrs. Harner and I will be able to coordinate our schedules and get the interview done.  And pray for her safety!!  A big reason she couldn't get back to me for so long is that she's going to Guinea next month and has been using her time to prep for that. 

Thanks and blessings to you all. :)
