Nostalgia is setting in with each afternoon's sun on the trees in my front yard. With less than six months before my target departure date for Prague, everything becomes more precious--the fall colors, the time with friends, all the little joys of life here in my hometown. I feel like I need to squeeze the juice out of everything!
Life of late has been consumed by two main activities--working on communication with my prayer and financial partners and potential partners; and continuing the work of readying my home for my departure. The hardest part is the decisions--what do I keep? What do I toss? What do I give away or sell?
As for the house itself, the current plan I'm working on is to rent it furnished, to a friend who will manage and sub-let it room by room. The plan is a work in progress and also one I hold lightly.
Last January I attended a missions conference in Spain. It was a very beneficial experience last year, and was instrumental in shaping the trajectory of this past year. I am prayerfully considering attending it again this coming January.
I've also been working on a video of my presentation (see below) which goes into more detail about what I will be doing, and how God has been leading me to where I am right now. Please check it out if you want to learn more!
