On the eve of departure

Hi friends. We are on the cusp of departing. Thank you so much for your support. It is amazing to see God do the seemingly impossible over the past two months. On the eve of departure, we stand at 91% support. We are so very touched by people's open hearts and support.

Saying good bye to our dear friends in the area has been so hard to do. It has brought us a deep sense of appreciation for the relationships that have been forged at church, at work, and in the community. At the same time, we are eager to see what is in store for us next in Ecuador. To be honest, I (Bryan) have been so busy over the past 3 months that I have not had the time to get excited. I am looking forward to the excitement that the next couple of weeks brings.

We do have one significant prayer request. The bank who preapproved the buyers of our home, Farmers Bank, got a case of cold feet less than 3 hours before closing. This presents a huge dilemma for us. Evidently, they want to see more information regarding the buyer's employment before giving the final green light to proceed with closing. This is something that should have been done weeks ago. Please pray for the situation to resolve itself and for the buyers whose nerves are shot at this point. Quite frankly, we are a little stressed as well. We really need a favorable solution withing the next 48 hours or I don't know what we will do. The cool thing is that God has brought us this far. There's been a lot of impossibly good things that have happened leading up to this. It would be odd if all of a sudden, the home sale fell apart--just 3 hours before closing.
