Thanksgiving...to God be the glory!

...We are so very thankful for all the things that God is doing and has done over this past year! We are so thankful to all those who are praying and giving toward our goal of doing missions in Italy! We give thanks to God that we are healthy and are able to gather together with family and friends as this may be our last Thanksgiving here in the States before we leave for Italy! Its kind of funny to say that because it seems we have been doing this for so long! But, the reality is that as of now we are close to 50% with a firm pledge that by January will put us at 80%! So as of now we are working to get our final 20% so we can be gone by spring! Yea God! So to God be the glory and Happy Thanksgiving!

New Beginnings!

Well, as Peter Pan once said, "Here we go!" The "new beginning" being our first foray into the world of "blogging" (if that is still a relevant term). We felt it was high time we dragged ourselves into the twenty-first century and begin to place our thoughts and feelings of what not only missionary life is like but also to let others know how we're doing spiritually, emotionally and of course being missionaries, financially ; ). So, we hope everyone can sit back relax and enjoy what God is doing not only in our lives but in the lives of others that we are fortunate enough to encounter as we make our way to the mission field of Naples, Italy.
