The Movers Are Coming!

Well we have about 9 days and the Movers International Group will be here to pack up our shipment container.  This is tricky.  We only get one container that is about 1250 pounds plus we will get 12 suit cases to take with us.  (I think my shoes alone can take up our suit case room, just kidding) but really it is a trick to decide what we are bringing.  We have to live for two years so if we don't bring it and we need it, we will buy it, but if we bring it and we don't need it, those items will take up precious space in our shipment.

Our family just spent four days with some friends on a backpacking trip to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.  It was beautiful and we brought in all the things we needed for those days on our backs.  Really you can live very simply.  I was not at want for any thing during those four days.

So in 9 days they come, they said they would be here for about 6-8 hours packing our container.  We will live with out the stuff we ship out for about a month but we will get our things soon after we arrive in Singapore. 

This next week will be very busy with sorting through and organizing the things we think we want to bring with, finishing some major dissection projects with our home schooling and trying to maintain some family time in the midst of it all. 

It is never a good time to leave.  We have had some developments in one of our families lives this week that may make it very hard for us to leave.  Please pray with us that all turns out well and that we will not be leaving at a time when we are needed here.
