Хвалете Господа! Ние сме само на осем седмици разстояние от въртящи се! This means Praise the Lord! We move in eight more weeks!
We have been studying hard and trying to find the similar sounds for the alphabet. Bs are Vs and p's are r's. Once you can figure out the puzzle, it doesn't seem so foreign. We still are drilling a lot of vocabulary and will move into word endings. Bulgaria is like most other languages in the world that they change endings depending on the words around it and whether they are masculine or feminine. This is very different from English, so it should be fun to retrain our brains for that.
We now have all paper work finished and ready to mail off to the translators. When that comes back from Bulgaria, we can then head to the consulate in D.C. for visas.
We have also been teaching our children the classes that we learned while at training/orientation. We think as teenagers and an 8 year old, they will need to be as equipped as us for the culture shock, health and safety and the changes we will be encountering in the next coming months.
The kids will be going through a class at church next Monday to help them see their spiritual gifts. We're excited for them to be able to understand how God wants to use them in Bulgaria! Our "commissioning" Sunday is September 18th. This will be our last Sunday at Christ Community and the church will be praying for us and sending us out. We would love for our friends and family to join us for this special event. Consider this your official invitation!
We love you and thank you again for partnering, following, praying, and believing in the work God has called us to!

Loved spending time with the Galloway family last Monday. You are such a blessing to so many! I pray that God will use you...just like you are...to bring Him glory and to benefit the people of Bulgaria.
