We’ve got a little over 4 months to go until we aim to leave, time is going so ridiculously fast!
We are looking on track at the moment, we have all our paperwork in at the Mexican embassies for visas and are just waiting to hear back.
We almost have enough money to pay for flights.
We need a couple of things to fall into place but have plans to move out of our house and into a friends furnished house in approx 2 months so we can get it ready for renting and get people into it and sell all of the furniture we are using.
Mike and I currently feeling quite overwhelmed by the fact we just never get a break from our brains thinking through plans, even while resting its so hard to still our minds, but God is faithful ,and we are both finding ways to incorporate stress relief into our lives which we know will come in handy in the future.
We are also making a concerted effort to soak up as much New Zealand as we can and are ticking a few things off our “Before we leave NZ bucket list”, as we look to move to a rather dry country we find we are appreciating the green of New Zealand more and more.

We’ve been in touch with a travel doctor and talked vaccines for the area we’ll be in.
So a few areas of prayer or request from us.
Please pray for us as we learn to handle higher and higher levels of stress and that our visas will come through quickly and smoothly.
We’d also love you to consider supporting us: we are looking on track for flights but still really need our level of pledged monthly support to go up we currently have a shortfall of approx $1500 a month. Even if you can only commit $5 a week it all helps and means we can concentrate on the work of helping the poor and needy and not worrying about our budget all the time.
specific costs also still needed for:
-$1000 for vaccines
-$2000 for moving costs
-$5000 House set up costs.
We have raised just on $6000 currently and you guys are incredible and have blown us away with your generosity
