*sigh*
We have yet to inform either of our parents of our intent to enter the mission field. We've told a mere 3 people so far (outside of our small group). Hopefully they've honored our request to keep it to themselves. I'm sure they have, but then again...I'm never really sure. Is that an awful way to think?
Don't worry. We plan on 'spilling the beans' soon. You see, we have to. Our preliminary candidate applications for Africa Inland Mission are sitting in the mailbox, ready to start their journey to New York, where they will be reviewed. I'm still in shock. We actually doing this. We're applying to become missionaries. Actually, we're applying to enter a 2-year program that gives you a "foundation for a lifetime of ministry". I'll get to specifics in another post, 'kay?
All I can imagine right now is how un-okay with it our families will be, should we be accepted. I'm praying that they will find peace in our choice to pursue this opportunity.
