Our last few months have been filled with meetings with pastors, dinners with family and friends, pre-packing, preparing for our sale, speaking in churches, homeschooling, and a lot more that I just can't think of at this moment.
This last weekend we had our huge moving sale (Thank you Sue, Melanie, Angie, Lori, Jean, Stephanie, Kent and Don that so willingly gave up their personal time to help us either before or during our sale, and to all the ladies in Troy's family who helped clean up after the sale! We couldn't have done it without you!) The sale helped us move about 75% of our household items, plus our van. Thankfully, we have some good friends that are allowing us the use of one of their vehicles for this last week we are here. It has been an incredible push for our family to try to accomplish so much in such a short 2 1/2 weeks and are amazed by all that we have accomplished. Clearly, only by God's grace and goodness and some awesome family and friends! :)
Last night our we had an opportunity to get together with Troy's family one last time before we leave the country. It is so nice to have family (on both sides) that are supportive and understanding of all that we go through as missionaries.
This next week will entail boxing up the remaining items that did not sell and donating them, packing - and listing all of the items that are coming with us to Thailand, as well as repacking and making lists of all of the items that are being stored at a friends while we are away.
It is going to be very busy this coming week. We continually are being attacked and we would really appreciate your prayers during this transition. (ie; Computer Hard drive crashed DEAD!! - - lost some really important e-mails - we had backed up everything except e-mails a little under a month ago, Troy's truck broke down - also a complete loss, denial of Nathaniel to be accepted at his school in Thailand in order to graduate with his friends (long story and under appeal)). I could go on, but I'm sure you get the point.
Please pray for:
- Packing process - smooth - and quick (and for helpers)
- House clean and ready for renters/sale.
- Opportunities for quality time with friends these last few days.
- Last of the monthly and cash funds promised to come in.
- Smooth flight and transition...no sickness on the plane this time! ;)
- Quickness in getting over jet lag.
- The ability to prepare properly for a team coming in beginning of march.
- Our living room furniture to sell
- Our home to rent or sell to the RIGHT person.
- Nathaniel's acceptance into Grace International School (if it is God's will)
We are so honored to have you on our team and pray that God bless you as you continue to encourage and lift up our family!
Love to you all!
The Scott Family
