18th of March

We bought our plane tickets, and are leaving for language school in Lisbon, Portugal the 18th of March! It is a crazy feeling! My little sister and her husband are expecting (what a funny phrase) their first child, and my feelings about leaving seem very similar to what Regina has felt, only not on the there-is-a-human-life-growing-inside-of-me-that-I-have-to-take-care-of-forever level. It's more the "wow", "can we do this?", "are we even old enough?", "this is awesome" level. All that being said, we are excited and sad...the sad part is all me (Andrea) because Matt is so hardcore. :) Jesus has given us serious peace, but please continue to keep us and our families in your prayers. We love you! 

P.S. Last minute supporters are welcome with open arms, wide open arms. ;) 

(dis)location, location, location

Yep, Matt dislocated his shoulder...again, this time playing ultimate frisbee, as equally an uninteresting story as last time's tubing incident. So, we've been telling people he was fighting the devil, shark bite, etc. He's sore, but feeling better. (Click the picture to see the identity of the guy responsible...he made up for it by driving us to the ER, and getting Matt Starbucks.)

​We've been on the road SO much these past few weeks with services and the sectional council tour. North Little Rock 1st has graciously let us move into their AMAZING missions house, so we now have a place to ourselves, and a central location to crash. We've been blessed to have awesome parents, family, and churches to help make iteration smooth. 

We still do not have an official departure date, BUT we did get our visas for Portugal in the mail TODAY! Praise God!!! Please pray with us as we only lack a handful of pledges to be at 100%! ​
