The adventure continues!
Posted by Kristen on Jan 27, 2007 in Uncategorized | 10 commentsWe turned in our bid list on Monday. We had to cut our highs down significantly due to government policies on having a baby abroad. We will spare you all of the crazy details. On Thursday, Seth heard from someone on the decision-making committee that no one was assigned to a post that they rated low. So, you can look at our list and know that we will end up at one of the medium or high posts. It feel like more info would bring clarity but it is still pretty unclear where we will end up and when. It is still possible that Seth will have to head to post before the baby is cleared which could mean that he would be leaving 3-4 weeks before us (but still after the baby is born). We are praying that the government will extend his training if we are in that situation. Mexico City and San Jose would both start in October so we are really hoping for one of those! We are praying against Juarez and Nogales if you want to join in! Although the decision has been made we will not know where we are going until Feb 15th and we will for sure let you know when we know! The adventure continues! By the way, the baby is handling everything quite well!

I’m participating in a new Bible study this spring using a book by Jennifer Kennedy Dean on prayer. I haven’t found out yet whether I can “pray against” anything but I’ll sure pray “for” you both, and baby,too! When do we find out if it’s Baby Seth or Baby Sethonna going with you?

Sethonna. That has a nice ring to it
And I suppose some good news is better than none. It’s nice to know that you won’t have to go to Tijuana

I have a few name options, but I will save those for a phone call. Sethhonna is very high on the short list though. Great thinking Joe Beth! I am excited for your choices and am praying for you as well.

Glad things are going smoothly so far. We are praying for you guys and know that whatever God’s plan is for you, He far surpasses our understanding.
Love you!
