Things are moving right along and we're seeing God's faithfulness over and over again! Things have gone so smoothly that we felt confident to make our airline reservations. Our departure date is June 16!
We have a tenant for our home, a lovely single woman about our age. It's a big relief! She wants to rent for the full two years and I think she will be a good care- taker for our house. Ed's friend John R will care for the yard and John W will be taking care of any repairs. Our new tenant even bought our dining room set and (much to Ed's delight!) our sleeper sofa, which is a real pain to move! He's so happy it can stay right where it is :-)
We had our garage sale on Saturday and, in spite of a forecast for rain, we had great weather and a wonderful turn out. We put "For Sale" signs on the Subaru and we have a neighbor who is interested and would allow us to keep it till we leave.
Looks like we may be shipping the Jeep over to Haiti. The cost is more reasonable than we expected and is cheaper than buying a car when we arrive. Hopefully we can load it up with stuff as well.
God continues to provide for us. The raffle organized by my coworkers was a huge success and we have been getting donations from some unexpected sources. At this point we have enough to cover our living expenses for about 6 months! Amazing!
We finish work on May 29 and will be visiting our kids in Texas in early June. Then...off to our new home in Haiti!
