Less than one month to go until we head WAY South!!! Purchasing the tickets was a big relief. We did get our Temporary Visas in the works and should have those any day now. We are still short of our Extended Visas, so we can use some help. Those Visas cost $500 each Wife just informed me that the price is $500, not the $400 I previously stated). Again and again, we have placed this whole trip into God's hands. Again and again, the obstacles simply disappeared. We continue to see encouraging signs that our trip is still on track, yet, per human nature, we start doubting again. I pray that this is one of the last moments of doubt (at least until we get back from Bolivia!). So, once again, I am asking for assistance. We can not do this year of service on our own. If you have any questions about our trip, please ask. If you have any doubts about this trip, again, please ask for clarification. We appreciate everything that has come in, but we need a little more. I know this sounds like a telethon, but it is true. I know how those telethon workers feel. Your emotions go through the wringer. You feel the highs of reaching goals, then you realize that you have the next goal to accomplish. Sometimes that goal is higher than the one you just passed, some become lower, so you can start to see your final destination just over the hump. This describes where we are right now. We have our tickets, we have our departure date, we have our luggage (minus a carry-on), but we still need the Visas that will allow us to stay past 30 days. I appreciate everyone of you that are following this page and blog. If you know of anyone that might be interested in supporting this trip, please give them our contact information. If you need that info, please send a message. keep us in your prayers, whichever God you like, and know that you all are in ours too!

God's Peace
