On Thursday and Friday of last week, we attended the two-day mini orientation with our mission board.  They poured a fountain of information into us to give us the knowledge and tools we would need to begin our missionary journey in earnest.  With that training complete, we are now cleared to start making phone calls and booking meetings.

Currently, we are scheduled to attend a local mission conference at the end of next week and another conference in Tennesse toward the end of October.  We hope to be able to book many more meetings in the following weeks as it is our hope to go on full-time deputation by the beginning of next year.  To accomplish that would take a miracle, but thankfully, we know Someone who excels at doing the impossible, and we know if it is His will, it will happen.
