Our tentative date for leaving for Mozambique was June 20th<\/sup> but the needed finances are still not in place for that to happen.\u00a0 It has been encouraging to see God providing in special ways this past month to help make our move a reality. We continue to trust Him to provide for airfare and luggage.\u00a0 We do feel a bit frustrated not knowing exactly when we will be landing in Africa but we are not sitting idle in the meantime.\u00a0 There is still a lot that needs to be done before we leave.\u00a0 We have been encouraged to get meningitis vaccines and begin taking Malaria prevention medication.\u00a0 We need wisdom in making the decision of what antimalarial treatment to take.\u00a0 We will be working on getting the rest of our packing done as well. We were able to pack up quite a bit before we left Missouri so it shouldn\u2019t take too long to finish up.\u00a0 The hardest part is prioritizing since we know we won\u2019t be able to take everything we might like to. .<\/p>\n
