A whole swirl of thoughts and emotions went through our minds as the candidate committee informed us, with no emotion really overtaking all of the others as our mouths were just sort of dropped in shock. We are excited, excited to get to begin to learn about the people we will live among and serve. Excited to have an answer to the previously wide-open question of where in the world are we going to live. We are not excited to be so far away. Although we knew that we were going to be overseas, some places are closer than others to the US, and Indonesia is about the farthest away. Most of all we trust that the Lord is putting us where He wants us. We both have sensed him doing that in our lives, before we were married and since then. So we trust Him! And we thank Him! We want to say thank you too to the friends and family who said they were praying for us. That means alot to us.
