We made it!!

It was our 31st Anniversary this month, and while we were having a meal out to celebrate it, we received "the phone call"....da da da da.....we got our clearance to leave for the mission field, as we have made our goal of raising 100% of our monthly pledges!! thanks to you who pledged.....we are grateful! We've enoyed our time here in the USA for the past year and half, but to be honest with you, we need "to be about our Fathers business", and to where he has called us to...the mission field!
So, we will be leaving Jan. 2... (after packing our things up and putting them in storage in McAllen, TX, then we'll stay at our friends Paul & Colleen Bifferts house in Alice, TX then flying out to San Jose, Costa Rica on Jan. 2 for a year of further language study. We will have a 1 bdroom apt there, and will be taking taxis and buses to school and back every day. I'm sure it will be challenging, but I can't wait till I hear Roger preach in Spanish the first time, it will be worth everything!!
We have also purchased a Vonage telephone system, so we are going to hook that up with our current cell phone number, so friends and family can call us (visa versa).
Please keep us in your prayers!
