...we should be settling in our new home! We
have less than one week before leave for our cross-country trek to Regina.
This time of preparation and transition could not have been sweeter. DJ and I both had our final days at work last Thursday. We have been spending the past few days preparing and crossing items off our "Master To-Do List." Day by day we are getting closer to being prepared logistically and emotionally.
We have been increasingly blessed over the past few weeks. I would love to share with you some of the special blessings we have experienced.
- A family from our church was generous enough to purchase for us a ton of clothing from an employee sale at the American Eagle Distribution Center. We now have an assortment of new, warm clothes to take with us! Wow! God's blessing was even more evident because we love all the clothes and they ALL fit us too!
- A couple from our church has been allowing us to live at their ranch outside of town and has asked us to only reimburse them for the utilities. It has been so peaceful and beautiful to be surrounded with God's creation! We have come to adore the horses that greet us each morning and evening out our front door.
- Our church family threw us a wonderful "Sad to See You Go, But Glad You Are Going Where God Is Calling You" Party. It was a special and emotional time of reminiscing about the past and celebrating the future. We felt overwhelmingly blessed by all the touching memories that our friends and family shared. It was an event that we will remember for the rest of our lives.

- Our church family also blessed us with an overly-generous financial gift. We feel so humbled and honored by this gift and all the kind
words that have been shared with us before our departure.
There have been many other gifts and blessing from those we
love. We are thankful to times that we have been able to spend with different members of our family before we leave, also. Everyone’s support and love for us has been
unbelievable. Between the caring graciousness in which our loved ones here are
sending us off and the joyful excitement that our new church family is already
welcoming us with, this transition has been enjoyable and bearable. We are
thankful for that!
Until next time,
Amanda
