Officially Missionaries

It seems crazy when we talk about it and even when we hear ourselves say it, but we are "missionaries." Todd put it best when he said, "I never thought I'd be a missionary. I always thought missionaries dressed funny and acted strange." All kidding aside, it's simply that growing up we both placed missionaries on a different level. They were not "normal" people. I mean who in their right mind drops everything and goes to distant lands in order to spread the message of God's love? Yet here we are anxiously counting the days until we get to do the same thing. We are both so honored and amazed God has placed this calling in our lives.


Today, we looked on CTEN's (Commission to Every Nation) website and there we were listed as missionaries. It takes my breath away when I think of how God has prepared us for this precise mission. The CTEN logo on the right is a direct link to our missionary webpage, if you want to take a look. Other than that things are moving right along. We are preparing things in order to fundraise for support and starting to tackle the moving process. Both of us are also excited because in a couple of weeks we will be attending our Orientation/Training with CTEN in Kerrville, Texas. And attending that is just another step to our living and serving full-time in Romania.
