Final Vacation with families!

Over the past month we have gone on 3 different vacations to spend some time with our families before we leave.  We were able to go to Seattle with the Forrest Family, to Bend with the Stevens/Forrest/Getsinger family, and to Lake Roosevelt with the Stagge/Pell family.  We are so blessed with the families we have and were so thankful we were able to spend that time with them.  Hannah and Hailey did great traveling everywhere, sleeping in different rooms (they did okay with that part:), and playing with all their cousins.  We are back now and are realizing there are soo many last minute things to do.  We have to get the girls their last shots (yellow fever and typhoid), cancel a lot of our accounts, pick up last minute things to add to our baggage, go through and weigh our baggage again to take out what we don't need and add what we need, etc.  So many things are running through our minds it is overwhelming and exciting at the same time.
 Right now Nick is in Oregon preaching at a church that is supporting us and then at night presenting at the church we went to in College.  We are praying that more connections will be made and we are excited to see what the Lord will do this weekend. 
This tuesday it will be 3 weeks til take off! It is coming soo fast and I find myself getting more and more excited about getting there and settling in.  Now that we are officially out of our house we can focus on the other things without the weight of that on our shoulders and I am realizing how amazing this is that we get to go serve the Lord in Africa.  I am in awe of what He has done to get us closer and closer to the dream He gave us years ago.  We cannot wait to see what is in store.  Thank you for all your prayers thus far.  Here are some prayer requests for those of you who are praying for us.
-All the lose ends to be wrapped up before we leave and nothing forgotten
-Visas be issued in time so we don't need to buy other visas
-Nicks grandpa is battling cancer and his grandma is battling a lot of sickness
-The remainder of our financial support to be raised
-Arusha's in a drought- pray for rain!
Thank you!! We cannot begin to thank you all for your support.  We feel so loved and supported throughout this whole process.
