We've now been in Nate's hometown for 3 weeks and we're working on setting up a house which we'll be renting for the next few months. Many people from our church here have offered various pieces of furniture and baby things for us to borrow while we're here and we feel very blessed as we see God providing for us. It looks like we'll be able to move in in the next few days.
As you may have guessed, we received my immigrant visa at the end of June so we could finally cross the border and I became a permanent resident of the US. Up until now we've been staying with Nate's mom and catching up with people around here and doing all the errands involved in moving me to a new country.
We're getting very excited about our baby coming--the due date is only 6 weeks away now! We have a great midwife and have been through the childbirth classes at the hospital. Grandma Kidder has been collecting baby girl clothes and we've received some beautiful gifts. We're excited to get settled in our house and get things set up for the baby.
Plans for the next few weeks: We're starting to make plans to share in various churches in the area, as we continue to prepare to return to Sudan in January. Please pray that the Lord will provide the remaining financial and prayer support that we need. We're really thankful for the new people and churches that have joined our support team in recent weeks as well as the many who have continued to support us throughout our home assignment.
Please pray for us as we make the big transition into parenthood in just a few weeks!
