Today is February 7th. We arrived in Brazil January 12th. And I am AMAZED at all that we've been able to get done in less than 4 weeks. Don't get me wrong, it hasn't been all easy. In fact the past weeks have been some of the most stressful we've experienced...ever! But God has graciously gotten us through step by step. Our moving truck is coming on Saturday and.....I can't believe I'm saying this....we are READY!
Here's a quick list of what we've accomplished in less than 4 weeks.
- We met with our leadership and decided we're going to Boa Vista
- Elijah had 3 doctors appointments about a hernia surgery
- Elijah had his surgery
- Got tons of boxes, plastic wrap, and other packing material (No one stop shopping here! That was a lot of work going all around downtown and even to a town an hour away!)
- Jeyson made wooden crates for some of our more fragile items.
- Took down all of our stuff from storage and organized (we couldn't figure out what to bring before we knew all that we had)
- Finalized things with a moving company
- Sorted through and packed up ALL of our stuff
- Dealt with a broken down car (turned out to be a quick fix but I was a damsel in distress the other night!)
- Dealt with a big sewage disaster in the backyard
- Replaced Jeyson's missing driver's license (a whole day event in itself!)
- Dealt with some confusions with our bank account
- Filed our taxes
- Started teaching a birth class (Stephanie)
- Helping to change out a 206 engine (Jeyson)
- And MUCH more!
Phew! We are exhausted but so glad to have gotten where we are! I'm so proud of all we were able to get done in such a short time. Even though we are now sleeping on mattresses and straining pasta using a cutting board (I packed my colander...oops) we are SO glad to soon see our belongings go out the door. It will be much easier to focus on our next tasks at hand without having to think about packing or living around boxes. What has been really tiring about the past weeks has been not knowing when to stop at the end of the day since you can always keep packing late into the night. My hardworking hubby has been packing till midnight many nights! But we will be back to more normal hours soon. Yay!
Next up:
Renewing Jeyson's pilot's licenses
Selling our car, motorcycle, fridge, and other household goods
Find someone to rent our home (we'll rent out here until we are settled in and ready to buy in Boa Vista)
Fix up our home to leave it ready to rent out
Continuing with the engine change and birth classes
Preparation flights to fly a Cessna 206
Saying goodbyes
Stay tuned and keep praying!
