10 days

Hi all, 

I'm testing out a new support update method. Hopefully, those of you who were not receiving our updates will now. We are leaving in 10 short days! Unbelievable. Above all I want to thank you and thank our Heavenly Father. You've all been a tremendous encouragement to us through this lengthy process, not only as willing givers but in speaking truth, and expressing excitement over what's to come. Thank you! 

A few prayer requests: 

1. We still haven't received Braden's passport. Please continue to pray for its provision. 
2. We are also waiting on a few documents to arrive that we will need for our visa application. Pray specifically that our FBI background check would arrive and Amy's birth certificate. 
3. Finally, today we are having our final debrief for LEAD U. We realized last week that from our small team we will have someone on each continent next year! Pray that from our debrief today we could remember key lessons God has taught us over the past few months. 

Here's a few highlights of late (top left clockwise): going away party in B'ham, family goodbyes over Thanksgiving, preaching at Grace Church, one of several visits to the storage shed, and our going away party in Bainbridge.

Love, 

Jeff, Amy, Braden, Simon, Lucy, and Everett

p.s. Please reply, we'd love to know that you are receiving our updates!
