Jake and I have been on the road and visiting some family for the past few days, so thanks for your patience regarding our lack of updates and such. It's harder than you think to visit with absolutely everyone!
As it is, I'm writing this in the car on my smartphone while we head up to Sudbury for a youth retreat.
On Wednesday, we finally had all of paperwork in order so that we could finish our Brazilian visa applications in Toronto. As the officer was writing the pickup ticket for our passports, we noticed that he was writing the date of September 26, which is two days after we leave for Chicago!! With a pounding heart, I asked if he could change the date, quickly explaining our situation. Without even batting an eye, he looked at the calendar and said, "How does the 21st sound? " We were so relieved, and in awe of our great God!
Thanks for praying for us...it seems that the time is passing by so quickly. With everyday that passes we become more and more excited about this journey! Please keep praying with us regarding our support. We're still about $3100 short. Enjoy the pics below of various family and friends...not extensive by any means. Have a wonderful weekend! Love, Ashleigh and Jake
