On our way


Well it is about time we started communicating what is up with us to a few more people then those who live on our block. We are planning to move to Quezon City, Manila sometime in the early stages of the new year. Our plan is to study midewifery under mercy in action. Basically Theresa will be taking correspondence courses through the US then she will be mentored by exhisting midewives in two charity clinics. So basically our school tuition will be supporting these clinics while we are there. We are unsure if the Philippines will be a perminant move or just a stop over on our way to India/Africa. Our dream is to live and die serving the poor where ever that may be. We read an inspirational book called Hospital By the River, it made us totally want to commit to a life time with a village or people group somewhere. So as usual we are not knowing a lot about our future only our next few steps. But I guess for know that is all we need.

Hey guys, I'll be the first to post a comment. First it was msm, then Facebook, now blogging. This is alot for me to keep up with. Sounds great to keep updated with.When you take risks you have no choice but God. When we don't we are prone to wander or become sooooo safe, that we have no need to trust in Him. Sounds like an adventure in need of fully trusting 100%. You are in our prayers. As Melissa would say at this stage of her life, oxoxoxoxo.
