Mission prep

Rochelle's been bugging me to make a post, so here goes...

We had two wonderful weeks of holiday this October, the first with
Rochelle's parents and the second with mine. Sadly, the second week
was interrupted with a phone call to let us know that our departure to
Zimbabwe could be delayed another four to six months. Not the best
news, given that we've already left work and our apartment. Things
will work themselves out, but we'd appreciate prayer support over the
situation. We're learning a lot about patience and trusting in God...
haven't totally mastered the lesson, however.

We're currently participating in a two-week mission preparation
training course... we're praying for my survival, but we have learned
a few interesting things already. Looking forward to visiting a mosque
and meeting with the Imam.

Trust all is well with you. Drop us a line and let us know.

Grace and peace.

Just wanted to let you both know that I am praying for you. This must be frustrating for you to have to wait when you are on the cusp of such a wonderful experience. Everything happens for a reason, though, and we just have to trust God's timing for you. Patience is a tough lesson to learn! Perhaps one day the reason for waiting will be apparent, but, if it's not, then just keep on trusting God. Don't give up! He's got a mighty adventure in store for you, both here and overseas!
yours in Christ,
Christina

So sorry to hear about this. We have been praying for you and as cliche as it sounds, there must be a reason. Makes me start to wonder about what is going to happen in the next 4-6 months. Praying for perfect timing and lots of patience. Not sure how we can help, but we certainly will in any way we can. Love you lots, A.Cathie
