Giving Thanks
We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving with their families. We traveled to Atlanta to see Titus' family. We had a lovely time, but unfortunately on the way there we got stuck in traffic for over an hour due to a wreck. I had to capture the moment. HEHE!
We have a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. We have been very busy the last several months working to move to Malawi, Africa. During this season especially, we wanted to stop and take a moment to look back on all the things God has done for us. When have been AMAZED at how God has provided for us thus far.
*We are Grateful for friends! This past week a coworker at my school made casseroles and sold them to other teachers to help us move to Africa. We have been overwhelmed by the generosity of our friends and family to help us on this journey.
* We LOVE Referrals! One of our friends told us to contact one of his college buddies who had a heart for missions. We were a little nervous talking to someone we didn't know, but as soon as we started talking to him all fears disappeared. It was like we had known him our whole lives. So grateful that we have a new friend who has a heart for furthering the kingdom of God and now he is one of our monthly supporters!
* We are THANKFUL for IDEAS! One of my coworkers brainstormed ideas we could fundraise in our hometown. She went to her ZUMBA instructor and told her about us and our desire to move to Malawi, Africa to work with widows and orphans. The instructor immediately got in contact with me and now we are having a ZUMBATHON next weekend. We haven't even met yet! Love how God works!
* We APPRECIATE our PARTNERS! We are so grateful for your prayers and support! We could not do this without the help of our friends and family!
* We are EXCITED to move to ESTHER'S HOUSE ORPHANAGE! Over the last few months God has continually confirmed our calling to Africa. We yearn for the people of Malawi and cannot wait to call it home. Here is a video of some of the kids at Esther's House singing. They have such beautiful voices!
We are currently 37% funded. Please consider joining our support team financially, either through a

Our Future Home
Hello friends and family! We
have been busy these past few weeks working hard toward getting to
Africa. We are continuing to sell our things, meeting with people to
share about our support needs, and working on some future fundraisers. A
friend shared this photo and I thought it was so fitting for our lives.
We are excited to call Africa home...soon! :)

WOW! September was a busy month for us! We had a yard sale and were so
blessed by everyone who helped us!
Last week my school had Jeans for Malawi. That's right teachers will pay money to wear jeans to work! This event was a great success! My coworkers are amazing! Titus and I were overwhelmed with their generosity to help us get one step closer to moving to Africa.
So grateful that this week is Fall Break! I spent the weekend relaxing with a friend and her beautiful baby girl in the mountains! It was just what I needed! Our God is a very talented artist! Excited that the leaves are beginning to change.
Now I am in Northwest Arkansas visiting family and friends and sharing about Africa and what God is doing in our lives.
