T-Minus Two Months!

Welcome to our blog! We hope this will be a fun way to keep you updated while we're in Germany.
 

Kandern, Germany

 

T-minus two months till we leave! Here is what we'll be doing in the meantime:

 

Summer has officially begun! I finished work at school on Friday and now we will spend the next three weeks packing (Jordan is packing up the kitchen as I write), support raising, selling our house, saying goodbye to Denver friends and family, and attempting to learn more German.

 

Here's some German we learned this morning: Der Madchen trinkt orangensaft. Translation: The girl drinks orange juice. Not sure if we'll use that phrase very much...Anyone have tips for learning German??

 

Our home in Denver.

 

The last week of June we will be in Wheaton, Illinois for training through TeachBeyond. That's the mission organization that's sending us to Germany. We have lots of pre-orientation exercises and reading to do before then. We're looking forward to having that time to prepare for our work at BFA (Black Forest Academy). In July we will say goodbye and spend some time with both of our families as well as attend a dear college friend's wedding. And then we'll be off!

 

We treasure your prayers for us as we get ready to go. You can pray that all goes smoothly with our house sale--we are currently under contract and set to close on June 18th. You can also pray that God would provide us with a furnished apartment in Germany. We recently learned that there aren't many available as there aren't many BFA missionaries on furlough this year. And finally, please pray for peace during this crazy time of transition. Thank you for your prayers!
