Our Progress

Well, things are coming right along with SIM, praise God!

Yesterday we took several psychological evaluations (which was a psychological evaluation in itself!).  It took us about 4 hours to get through them.  We sent those in along with all of the info they needed regarding medical stuff even though they won't get out until Monday. I just didn't have DH's lab results back, but I figured I needed to get all of this in since we had it for the past few weeks and I can always scan and email those results.  Just couldn't do that with all of it.  I tried, but the files were too big.  It took a while to compile all of it. 

I guess when I finally get the blood work in, they will send out a short theology survey to make sure our beliefs and theirs don't contradict each other.  Then it's the waiting game!  We should hear mid-November whether or not we are invited to SIMstart in January.  That's when we get to meet everyone face-to-face in Charlotte and have quite a few interviews, meet with the psychologist, and find out what else we need to do!  By the end of that, we'll know if SIM will send us. 

Please continue to pray for us.  Pray for patience and peace for us and for wisdom and discernment for our SIM team.  We are very excited and know we have been called to Japan, but we know that we can't just hop on a plane and that it is a process.  God is doing some pretty amazing things in our lives in the meantime!
