TA

We fianlly received our Travel Approval on Monday. Life has been a whirlwind since Monday trying to decide when to leave for China. Unfortunately, China has two festivals in October for whick the government shuts down. So we are requesting our Embassy Appointment for Oct 19. If we get this date, we will begin our travel on October 3, Bill's birthday. Now, is the fun, exciting part of the journey. It all seems more real this week. God has thrown us some obstacles, however is always providing. I know his time is perfect. Please pray for travel plans, attachment, and for our family's transition. I will update tomorrow if I hear a definite date.
