No visas yet, we are still waiting for them to be approved by the Indonesian government. The end of March is now the earliest we will be able to depart for language school in Indonesia.
In the meantime, we wait, and pray, and we wait some more.
Today we drove out to the place our crates are being stored at to finish packing our shipment. This is the shipment we won't see until we move to Tarakan about 1 year from now. In fact we haven't seen any of this stuff since the end of July; it was kind of bittersweet to see all of our stuff today. I know that they are just possessions, but it is a bit unsettling at times not to have access to most of our things. This whole packing experience has been a lot more emotional than I thought it would be for me. It consists of going through our possessions, pairing them down, and putting them into storage. I honestly didn't think I was THAT attached to my stuff. God is always finding teachable moments for me in our journey to Indonesia.

We can however, add a bit of fun to this process. You're welcome future Angie. Ok, future Mike, future Colton, and future Macie I'll share.

| Entering every. single. item. into an Exel spreadsheet with it's new and current value. Good times. |

| Colton has been missing his old MAF buddies and has started writing notes to a few of them. It is fun (and sad at times) to have friends that live all around the world! |
