The Time is Drawing Near

73% - Praise the Lord! Yikes that means that we are that much closer to moving in January. With that brings a whole lot of things to do and feelings that are getting exposed.

Last week we found out that our work permits have been approved. Now we are working on getting our visa's. We have sent everything to PNG and are waiting for them to process our visa's. After that is done, we have to mail our passports to Washington and wait until they return them to us before we can leave. PNG is not known for doing things quickly so we will see how that goes!

We are also working on getting Candace's professional designation so that she can practise dental hygiene while we are there.

Emotions: excited, nervous, joyful, sad to name a few. We are so excited to make the move and start our lives in PNG. We are nervous and a bit anxious because we do not know what all to expect, especially when we will be living in the village! Joyful that God has been so faithful in providing for us so far. Sad that we will be leaving our family and friends so soon.

We also have other things to get ready and to get rid of! We have been purchasing clothes and shoes for the girls for the next 3 years and other things that we will not be able to buy when we are in PNG. And some things that we can buy there but is more expensive than here. We are also slowly selling and giving away our stuff that we have accumulated here. That is more work than we expected!

Please continue to pray for us as we make this transition. Also if you would like to help us get to 100% of our financial need or would like to partner with us in prayer please email us. (jonjagt at gmail.com)

"For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."

Matthew 6:32-34
