If I had a nickel for every time somebody has looked at me in surprise lately and said, "I thought that you were already in Indonesia!" I would have…well I would have about .40 cents.
It seems that our family lived in Nampa, ID so long at MAF headquarters, people here at home have been led to assume that we have already left for Indonesia. Why are we still here you may ask? We are currently waiting on our VISA paperwork to go through and we are finishing up our monthly support. (Which by the way is up to 95%!) It is looking like a realistic departure date for our family will be late Feb.
It is hard to live in a state of limbo, we thought that by now we would already be in language school in Salatiga. Our heart's desire is to be serving in Indonesia and it can be frustrating to be in a state of waiting. God's timing is better than ours though and we are doing our best to wait on Him and remain content. We are enjoying our extra time He has given us here with our friends and family. It was such a blessing to get the chance to spend one more Christmas at home!
