Update.

The last few weeks have been absolutely crazy!  God has been doing such amazing things it just completely blows my mind!  Our plane tickets have been purchased, visas have been sent for, vaccinations have been given and much preparing is being done as we close into the two month mark.  It is so obvious to see God's hand and provision in all that we have done.  Everything we have bought or have had to get has cost significantly less that we had originally thought and had budgeted for!  God is sooo good and everyone's generosity and love simply astounds me.  We were also blessed with a brand new camera who has been dubbed Kevin. :) Our hearts are so full of joy and we are forever grateful to you.


In other news, the air conditioner in our Volkswagen went out several months ago.  We had lived with it simply because it hadn't been very hot but as the temperatures have risen in the last several weeks, something had to give.  So we took it to the shop and they told us it would cost over $1000 to have the air conditioner fixed.  This was majorly disappointing seeing as all our money is going towards the trip.   Jordan's dad encouraged us to buy some refrigerant and he would see if that would solve the problem.  On Jordan's way to buy the stuff he decided to turn on the air conditioner (for whatever reason).  He said within seconds cold air started blowing!  This is so incredible, our air conditioner has been healed :)


As our departure from the States is drawing closer much preparation is needed to be done and many items are needing to be bought as well as our tuition paid to Iris Ministries.  We know and are seeing the old saying, "Where God guides, God provides."  We are ECSTATIC for what God has in store for us!  We are believing that God is going to completely fill our hearts and lives with His enormous love and our prayer is that He would do the same for all of you.  


Grace and Peace, 
Jordan and Lydia
