We'll start with 'Other Places'. Right now, we're living with Kiki's parents in Cumming, GA and spending a lot of time going to South GA to visit my parents. Moving to the other side of the world is a bit complicated, so we're also using this time to figure out visa requirements, banks, taxes, and other pesky necessities. This has been a very good time for us, as we haven't had the freedom over the past 3 years to spend so much time with our parents and friends in GA because of seminary and work. Likewise, it has been over 6 years since we've really been able to spend much time with my (Trey) parents, because before we were in seminary, I worked as a youth pastor at a church in the ATL area. So, we're really enjoying some time to prepare to move as well as catch up with our families again.
Now on to the 'Bangkok' part. In the last week or so, we've gotten several verbal pledges which, when they become official (meaning, when they show up on my MTW account), will allow us to buy tickets!!! We hope that one month from now we will be flying into Bangkok and setting up shop. We have a conference in Malaysia that we will attend from October 12-18, and then we'll begin the job of settling into an apartment or small house in Bangkok and figuring out our language school plans.
Pray with us as we finish out our support and our plans to go!!!
Mr. and Mrs. Boss: ah i was wondering a bit on the specifics! I resisted the urge to proclaim earlier "the three of us are done! woo!" and decided to let you tell your own story, which you're good at :) Yay for quality time with your families and yay for all the sufficient pledges!!!!!!
