That's the most common question we get these days. We never get tired of hearing it, but it has become somewhat tiring trying to find creative ways to answer it! We've only been officially preparing to become missionaries for 132 days, but it feels like we've been hearing this question for a long time.
Most times we'll say it just depends on when our support money comes in. Or more recently, we've been getting a bit more specific, saying possibly August.
Well, we are very happy to share with you that we now have an exact answer!
AUGUST 22
As you can imagine, the pace of our preparations has quickened a bit since purchasing flights. We have a lot to do and a lot of arrangements to make, but we are not overwhelmed by it because we know God has directed our path this far and He won't leave us now!
The flights on August 22 are a big step for us, but they are only the NEXT step. Just getting to the Dominican Republic is not what God called us to do. He didn't ask us to simply live in another country for a year.
Our call has been very clear since the beginning of this process. We are CALLED TO SERVE! We are excited to have a timeline for when our service starts, but it only reminds us of the continued need to be obedient to what our Heavenly Father calls us to do.
We continue to have support needs.
- We are not yet fully funded so if you feel God calling you to help send us to the Dominican Republic, click HERE and put "Weiss Family" in the space next to missionary support.
- More than ever, we need people who are committed to pray for us regularly. Pray that we'll be obedient, healthy, prepared and flexible.
- As we make arrangements to move, needs will certainly arise. Some already have. If you're interested in helping us prepare to leave, please email Dan or Katie.
As always, we are blown away by the support we've received from so many of you. Thank you! We love you all and cannot wait to share this journey with you.
