We were chosen as the mission for the Jr. High camp week at DCSC ( http://www.delmarvacsc.org ) this year. It was a great week and we are very thankful for the support they raised for us.

For our summer vacation this year we rented a cabin with our friends Sean & Margo for a week on the Shenandoah River about 10 miles north of Luray, VA. No internet access. No cell phone reception. No worries. Check out our video travelog:

Our home church, the Lewes Church of Christ ( http://www.lccnow.com ) chose us as the mission for this year’s Vacation Bible School. Emily put a lot of work into the missions tent where kids were able to explore Africa and learn about the work we will be doing with PBT.

We were out at DCSC this week for World Missions Camp. Here’s a brief video report. We are thankful for the opportunity we had to connect with people and share a little about what we’re doing.

We took a trip up to NYC over the weekend and made this travelog of the trip. Check it out.

This afternoon we sat down at the settlement table, signed a few papers, and completed the sale of our house! It’s been a long road and we are relieved it’s behind us. We will be able to make some specific decisions about our plans for training with PBT now, and will be posting more info and updates here as things progress. Thanks so much for your prayers and encouragement!

We received the results from the appraisal, and it’s good news: $300,000 – just $5000 above the minimum we needed! So far everything has been going smoothly. The contract is signed, the appraisal is complete, and we have termite and radon inspections happening today. It’s pretty amazing how much work is involved, but it’s been one of those things where we’ve waited so long for a buyer and now that it’s happening, it’s happening quickly, which is a good thing.

As of now, the closing is scheduled for this this Monday, May 18th, which is less than 30 days from when I received the original inquiry from the buyer. We still have a lot of work to do to get everything ready for the final sale (including moving a piano!), and there is still a possibility of delay, but we’re praying and have faith that everything will work out just fine.
