A Day of Changes, A Need for Prayer

Rachel moved into her new apartment today, or more correctly, she started to move. Tomorrow morning a friend with a pickup truck will come and help get some furniture from another friend's place and take it to her apartment. Next Thursday she hopes to take possession of a desk. Also, she won't be able to order internet until Monday, so it is likely to be a week or more before she is really set up and settled it. The apartment was very clean, except for the windows and looks like it is going to be a good place for her.

While unpacking this afternoon, Rachel got a surprise phone call asking her to interview for a teaching job. It is late in the hiring season for this, so she is praying about whether this is the right direction for her to pursue. Please pray with us about that too.

Another important decision has been made: Andrew accepted an offer to take a job in Ethiopia. Lots of follow up decisions now need to be made regarding timing of their departure, especially in light of the fact that the organization wants him there in about 6 weeks. They want to make a trip to the DR as well prior to leaving. It may end up that Andrew would go by himself at first. Pray for God's clear guiding about all the details that need to be dealt with.

And lastly, my mom had her pacemaker battery changed today--it should be good for another 9 years!!
