Appointed!

The Bustrums have had a very exciting week!
Umma arrived on Thursday night and the girls were excited but the count down wasn't over... they were really counting down til the day that Mark and I left and they had Umma (and her diet coke) all to themselves!
So EARLY, early on Saturday morning Mark and I flew out to Dallas, Texas for our Appointment week. It was a great week... mostly because of the awesome friends we got to spend time with!!! We got tons of information, filled out and signed tons of paperwork, ate the same vegetables for every meal...
The girls had a blast with Umma... going to the park, playing outside, going shopping and drinking an unlimited supply of diet coke:)
Now we are doing some crazy packing, paperwork and last minute preparing. It's exciting and terrifying all at the same moment.
Wednesday night was our official Appointment service. It was awesome! An amazing evening, we got to hear 92, well 90 other people share their testimony of how God called them into overseas missions. AMAZING! (I'll post the video of Mark and I later...)

I am so very excited for you both. The journey you have been on to get here is amazing. I see how patient and determined you were to follow God's plan for your lives and thank God for knowing you. I will be praying for your safe travels and can't wait to hear about your adventures.

Hannah,
I have Grace here with me and I introduced her to your girls tonight. She's excited to play with her friends in VA in a few weeks. :) We enjoyed spending time with you and Mark this last week and look forward to making more memories in the future.
