A little change in plans

We've shared that we have 1 more church to visit this upcoming week in Indianapolis. Unfortunately, there has been a little change of plans. As you all know, Sean is still the worship leader at our home church. It has been a challenge to find someone to cover for him on the Sundays that we are out of town. I've always had a fear that someone would cancel at the last minute and we would be stuck. God has been so good and there has always been someone to cover for Sean when he needed it. Sadly, this week Sean wasn't able to find anyone to lead for him. We called the Missions Director at the church in Indy and fortunately she was incredibly understanding. For a while there, I thought that I'd had to go by myself which would have been scary but I was willing! We tried to reschedule but she said it would work best if we could come back after our time in Australia. We are very grateful for their flexibility and we feel awful about having to cancel. I guess this means we are done fund raising though. God is so so good in the way that he's provided for us.

A lot of people have had questions about what happens if we raise more than we need, so I thought I'd share with you all. The money will stay in our account for the next 2 years while we are in Australia. It will be there in case we have any unexpected ministry expenses or if some people forget to fulfill their Faith Promises. If the money is still there when we are done serving our 2 years and we decide to serve a 2nd term, the money will go towards our next term. If we don't feel called back we will get to choose the missionaries that the money goes to or we can just give it to Global Partners in general.

I know we say thank you a lot, but we really want you all to know how grateful we are for your love and support. Thanks again for your prayers. It has been a crazy 10 months but we have learned so much!!
