Boxing up our igloo

My bookcase is getting boxed up!
We are getting things boxed, bagged, and labeled for our upcoming move.  I want to say "Thank you!" to those who have been praying for us lately.

I finally decided on a container.  We will be going with a 20 ft container instead of the mini container.  This size did cost more, but after running some measurements through a 3D home design program called Sweet Home 3D, I found out that our stuff just wouldn't fit into two mini containers thereby negating the cost effectiveness of them.  It was either go with the bigger container or get rid of our couch and various shelving/cabinets, so that made the decision a whole lot easier! (^_^)

We will be loading our container on Monday, Oct 29.  We're not sure of the time, so we have to be on standby all day. (Stop by if you're in the area. ^_^ We'll let you help!)  Please pray that the container makes it to Ilulissat without any delays.  If all goes well we should be unloading it on Nov 12.  There is the problem of the ocean (or even the bay in Ilulissat) being impassible because of sea ice.  This happens every year for them, I'm just not sure if it happens this early in the year or not.

We will fly out from here on the following Friday, Nov 2.  Once again, please pray that we won't have any weather delays with the flights.  This flight isn't a direct flight to Ilulissat though; we have a short layover in Aasiaat, so we are hoping to get a few pictures of the airport at least.

We are excited to be moving up to work with the Shull family, but also sad to be leaving Sisimiut.  We still want to see a good, strong, independent Baptist church started in Sisimiut one day.  Not just Sisimiut only, we want to see them all throughout Greenland!  Whether those churches are started by us, another missionary family, or some saved, discipled, and sent-out Greenlanders, we want to see Christ taken to all of Greenland.

On another note, I have changed this blog back to the old style.  After tweaking and changing things in the Dynamic Views, I just didn't like it.  I still hope to get more personalizing done with this layout, just at a later date.

Thank you for the prayers for our family and for those who have sent notes, cards, monthly support, and special offerings to our family.  We are very grateful to be laboring in our little patch of ice for our Saviour, Jesus Christ!
