Packing

I never knew how time consuming it is to get ready to go stateside!  I have been making doctor, dentist & college appts....along running our dog around to get her ready to arrive in the US.  Ghana has more rules than the US to get a dog in the country!  Well, 4 1/2 weeks and yes, we are counting! :)

We would have to say that the past three years were the hardest that we have ever endured.  We are looking forward to some time with family/friends and hope to be able to return rested and looking forward to what God is going to do in Accra.  

We will be traveling to six different states during our 4 months stateside.  We will be staying in Arkansas,  but will be traveling to Tennessee, Texas, Missouri, Virgina, Pennsylvania and New York.  Pray for our times at the churches.  We pray that God will call others to the mission field.  We also pray that God will have churches to partner with us in Accra to reach the many people groups.

Another prayer request would be for our visits to colleges.  We have to visit colleges for Autumn this time since this will be the last time that she is in the states before returning to college in the fall of 2013.  She is looking at attending either Union University in Jackson, TN or Ouachita Baptist in Arkadelphia, AR.  Pray God will show her clearly which school to attend.  

We hope to see many of you during our four months!

Blessings,
Teresa
