For Sale

As you can see the "For Sale" sign is in the front yard. Feelings of excitement and sadness rush through as I view the Wilson domain from the street. This sign represents another exciting step toward our new ministry in Latin America, but it is also the sad closing of a door to our everyday life in Conway. We have loved living here!!!

The ReachGlobal process has been stretching, intensive, and humorous at times. Many personality assessments were completed for team building, and all the results were posted on the walls at the Readiness Event we attended. Side-by-side our posters showed how opposite the two of us are in personality type. When Jim's arrows went left, mine went right. Where my graph went up, Jim's went down. We knew this about ourselves, but I just had to laugh out loud to see it on paper! I guess it's true that opposites attract! Together we make a great team - it just causes some friction at times! :-)

Here's my chart that was on the wall for all to see. I don't have Jim's chart, so just picture everything the opposite of mine! This is just too funny! Marriage counseling 101!

Sorting Through 25+ Years of Stuff

Going through 25+ years of stuff has brought the realization that we have tooooo much!! Why have I kept all this stuff for so many years? It is amazing how moving to Central America has made me evaluate the need to keep things. Now, only the dearest memories are safely tucked away in a box. Hope and Candace should be happy with this process as their job will be much simpler when we leave this all behind and permanently reside in Heaven. :-) Seeing representations of your life laying around the living room floor is quite hilarious!

By the way, moving isn't fun!!!

Here are some pics of San Jose, Costa Rica where we will spend the first year of our ministry learning Spanish. I will enjoy being able to speak to Hope & Candace in Spanish!

ReachGlobal - YAY!!!!

Last night we were accepted as staff with ReachGlobal!!! After an intense week of assessing and learning, we have become a part of the ReachGlobal family. This week has allowed us to get to know the organization, and we feel it is a good fit. We are glad this part of the process is completed, and now we are moving forward with our plans to go to Latin America. We still don't have many details about where we will be eventually located, but we know that we will be spending our first year in Latin America at a Costa Rican language school. Now comes the next part - building our support team. Please pray for us.

Also, please continue to pray for our family through this time of grief.
