We have had quite a busy week! Al and Diane Mellinger were visiting. They are the missionaries that have been in Bulgaria for 4 years and planted the seed 3 years ago of us possibly coming to help them one day. We spent three days discussing plans and talking about "household" issues. We will be living in their home in Petrich, Bulgaria the month of October while they are here in the states and we will be going out with our friend Peggy to locate a home of our own in the town of Samokov, Bulgaria.
Before they got here, we spent a week going through each room of the house and going down to the bare necessities that we need to live off of for the next 11 weeks. Many items were donated to Highland church in Bibb City. (A man who told me that he lives in the woods got my Pampered Chef stone that makes great pizza and plans to cook on the stone to make his bacon and eggs over the fire. How awesome is that?) Items are being a blessing already! Alan's toys were given to Valley Rescue for their Christmas toy give away. Books were given to a local church that has felt led to begin a bookstore in their church. Furniture was given to a newly married couple that had little furniture to begin their life together. God is good!
Today a Sunday school group is outside cleaning up our yard and making it look beautiful for the people God is sending this way to purchase it! How humbling and what a blessing! Special thanks to David, Bailie, Randall and Brianna!
We leave Sunday to go to Atlanta and then fly out Monday morning for a week of classes and training in the Dominican Republic.
Joy Crumpton and Pam Bone are planning to set up a yard sale in the next month or two to help with fundraising. If you are interested in helping or donating, please contact them!
The fundraising process has been amazing! God is so good! We still need around $30,000 if you feel led to partner and connect with this calling on a monthly basis or one-time gift.
God Bless and remember there is Freedom in Christ!

Chance, Dee Dee, and family...you are true servants of the Lord and will be richly blessed for following His calling. I am blessed to have known you for so many years.

May God's travel blessing be with each of you and His Light continue to shine in each of your lives. Know that you are loved! Luci
