Moving Again or Take, Store, Trash or Share

We as a family are getting a little to good about leaving. We are preparing yet again to leave yet another place that wasn't really ours to begin with and heading into a somewhat murky unknown.
Even more fun is that we are playing this really cool game call Take, Store, Trash or Share. Anyone can play the game ages 0-99 are appropriate. What you need is a place full of stuff and at least two destinations (we are playing the 3 destination version). Then you go through your stuff and as your packing you have a mantra going on in the back of your head which is the name of the game. The challenges are that the other game players will not agree with your decisions or worse they will be equally indecisive about the article as you are, that you cannot just quit the game, that you have to keep playing and playing and playing until its all done, that the longer the game goes on the louder the "trash" option becomes and you have to guard against giving in and that point as well, and finally that you are really not sure what you are going to really need to take.
We are really missing the helpers we had last year.

Monday Isabelle graduates from kindergarten.
Tuesday Anna and I graduate from Language School. Tuesday is the last day of school for the kids
Wednesday we leave for US

We have been blessed recently by some addition financial supporters and that is really cool to see other people come along beside and support us.

Our trip to Burlington VT went well. Thanks for all you prayed for that.

Please pray that we will have some speaking opportunities this summer and fall and that we would achieve our financial goals so we can get to the ROC this fall. We are inching towards those goals by God's grace. If you live in the KY, TN, IN,GA area and would like us to speak at your church or want to host a get together at your house to have us share what we are doing just let us know. We have a couple dates open in July still and we have most of Aug open as well.

Thanks again for your prayers

Quoi!? Only 4 wks left!

That's right you read it here. The Wegners only have four weeks left in Canada and only 3 weeks left of class time. We are already starting to plan our packing for the move.

We feel like we've learned a lot and yet we also feel like we've just scratched the tip of the iceberg. I've been meeting with a retired gentleman to practice my french medical questions a little more and I can see the holes that need to be plugged. I'm plugging.

I thought I would give a time line of what we will be doing in June and July for you so you can better pray for us and also know what we are doing.

June 8-12 my parents are coming up and we hope to send some stuff back with them so we do not have to haul as much back at the end of June

June 14th we are speaking at a C&MA church in Burlington VT.

June 19,22,23 we are taking our final tests. The last one is an attempt to give a standardized measure to our french proficiency.

June 24th depart for the US

June 29-July 3 at camp nathanael

July 6th (aprox) leave for NC to drop off containers to be shipped to the Republic of Congo

I will stop there because it becomes less sure after that. The July 6th date is pretty big because we have an opportunity to send some stuff to NC and we are in the process of playing a rousing game of "keep, send, store or toss" with all of our stuff from our car to tea kettle. We are waiting on final approval for how much room we can have on the container as well.

Thank God with us that our 10mo of language study is almost done and that our family is overall doing well.

Pray for safety, wisdom, patience with each other, good timing, and more support.

Thanks again for praying.
