We are not leaving in January after all. Our support is going up steadily, we are now at 32% monthly support and depending on the price of our plane tickets we may already be at 100% for our training and airfare. All money sent to Mercy Ships under our designation code of #2626 will be used by us at some point when we need it.
But we definitely do not have enough monthly support for Ray to give his two week's notice on Friday so we are waiting patiently for the next training which is in June.
And then there is the matter of our house. All interest has fallen off and it looks like we will have to go the traditional route and list with a realtor. We were hoping to avoid that and not end up going in the hole financially when we sell the house so you can pray about that with us.
We went ahead and continued with our vaccinations to keep on schedule with our Hep B shots. Last week the four of us had 11 shots, 2 of us had the flu mist and three of us had PPD pokes. Thankfully the two younger members of our family were covered by our insurance but the two older members of the family had to pay out of pocket at the health clinic. We have now paid over $1100 in shots for our family as we prepare to travel. And we have another 5 shots to go (just for Ray and me, the kids are done).
So that is what we are up to right now. We are done suffering and borrowed a bed from friends until we depart. It is much easier to get up in the morning now that I am not crawling out on the floor, ha ha.
