Three weeks to go!

We're counting down the days until our departure from LAX on March 6th!

For those of you eager for some news, here it goes:

The Yabus Bridge cable, which shipped over sea from India, has arrived in Mombasa, Kenya (Praise the Lord!) and is scheduled to arrive in Sudan at the end of February.

We are so thankful that 100% of our outgoing expenses are covered! We are hoping in faith for the final 15% of our monthly support to roll in.

Our house is on the market, and a garage sale is scheduled for Feb. 28th.

Units of time mean nothing to Jonathan, so he has been telling his friends, "we leave in three gymnastics classes!"

Below are our mugshots for our visas into South Sudan.

I love how Jonathan is so somber in his picture. He looks so grown up. :) Praying for you guys!

Cute. Maybe I'll put ours up to compare. We had such a great time with you on Sat. Wish we could do that 10 more times before you leave. We're praying for you. Boo
