Wow! It has been amazing past four weeks. Rob and I have both been traveling and managed to cross paths for only a couple days here and there. But we have been able to keep in touch over the phone sharing the many exciting things going on. First and foremost Rob graduated Mission school. He spent 10 days in Miami completing the final step of the application process with LAM. Not only did he spend two weeks in the classroom but also was interviewed and screened galore. Interviewing and/or screening Robby is always an "experience". Robby doesn't like to beat around the bush so usually his conversation starts with something like this... "I am a recovering addict..." The response of others tends to be mixed with shock, horror, embarrassment and curiosity. Don't worry we are used to it.
Well, he passed... or better yet Robby left Miami feeling confirmed more than ever that LAM was not only what but where he is called to serve.
Only hours after Robby arrived in Phoenix after being gone for two weeks we attended our very first fundraiser hosted by Robby's mother and father. What a wonderful evening. Robby and I shared our calling, the direction we are heading and our testimonies leading up to the call to missions. I was overwhelmed that evening and still am in a way. Overwhelmed at how much has taken place in our life, marriage and family over the past year. I guess I really wasn't taking it it all in. Putting it in words in one evening shed so much light into our life. Overwhelmed with gratitude is my core feeling right now.
We continue to be blessed with financial support. In ways we never imagined. We continue to be affirmed both spiritually and financially that this is the right direction.
