Four more days

Hey Friends,

We're out of our apartment as of Sunday, Nov 30. David's folks, Bob and Deb Boogaard, and our friends Peter and Linda Stuart helped us clean our apartment for approx. 5 hours on Sunday. For the two Saturdays before that Ed Boogaard (David's uncle), Bob Boogaard, Matt Swift and Christina Julian also helped us move out furniture. We are so thankful for all the help we've had moving out! Now we're staying with Peter and Linda Stuart until Monday.
We're finalizing a whole bunch of paperwork and loose ends before we take off for Chicago on Monday. Last night we shared with our youth group at CTR our plans for Botswana. It's weird to think we've already started saying goodbye. But we also leave with confidence that it's not for forever. And it's so great that we have a wonderful church family and friends who are sending us off.

David and Stephanie
