I woke up this morning to Sam jumping in bed on top of me yelling that our nomination letter finally came. It was a very fun way of being woke up :) (A little flustered but fun) Needless to say we were very excited! We forwarded that letter onto the embassy here in the states. That was that last thing that we needed for our visas. We were expecting to get our visas in the next couple weeks now that they finally had all of the information they asked us for. HOWEVER, only 2 hours later we got an email from Christopher from the Australian Embassy saying, "I am happy to let you know your visa has been granted today!" Who would have guessed that would have happened so quickly!!!!! It's finally starting to kick in that we are moving all the way across the world. It's a bittersweet feeling knowing that we are going to be serving where God has called us to but we have to leave our family and friends for the next two years. Nevertheless, we are so excited that this new adventure is finally happening.
Now we finally have to start packing. We "started" a few months ago. By started, I mean packed a few boxes then got overwhelmed and stopped :) Luckily, we have all kinds of amazing friends and family that have offered to help in any way possible. We will let you know our date of departure as soon as we buy our plane tickets. Thank you for all of your prayers and support!!
Exciting! :)
