Getting Ready to Go

Well, time is quickly moving by.  We are so excited about our move.  We know a lot of people will miss us, and we will miss a lot of you.  God has called us to move and he has shown us in an amazing way that He has plans for us and our lives in Sydney.  We are constantly overwhelmed by the way God works out the details.  I do not know why we are still surprised when God makes it happen.  He just works in a way that we could never predict.  Thank you all for your prayers and support as we embark on this adventure.  Please continue to pray for us as there are still many uncertainties.  

We are flying out on January 17 and will spend 2 days with Mel, B and Xanderman.  This will be a much needed break as we have been so busy finishing the details here.  We will fly out of LA on Monday and arrive in Sydney Wednesday afternoon at 12:25.(No, that is not a typo we skip Tuesday)  Once we arrive our friend Ken will pick us up and take us to the Hills campus about 45 minutes from the airport.  Once there, we will receive our housing assignments and go shopping for some essentials.  Most apartments are unfurnished, so we anticipate a busy first couple days trying to acquire mattresses and other household essentials.  

I am sure we will have a lot going on this first few weeks finding jobs and getting acquainted with the town.  Orientation for Matt starts on January 29 and I can start work once he starts school.  

For now, this is all we know.  I hope to keep you updated on our Australian Adventure...hopefully we will have regular access to the internet!?!?!?
