The last few days...

Operations here have continued to move along at a good pace. Several people have remarked at how much we have been able to accomplish in a relatively short period of time. I take that as a compliment.

Today, we met with a friend who runs a very successful marketing firm with quite a few large long-term accounts to show for it. Matt and I had a few questions we wanted to make sure to get his advice on. He spent three hours with us in the middle of a busy day at his place! By the time we said our goodbyes the whole place had left for the day! Matt and I have known all along that it would be best suited for him to act as more of an advisor to us than managing our marketing campaign, even though is has obviously been gifted in the latter as well. However, without yet expressing those thoughts to him, that this is exactly what happened today. Matt and I drove home laughing because we never even managed to get one of our questions answered even though we had taken such care in planning the agenda for our appointment with him. Nonetheless, neither of us would change the conversation we had between 2:30 and 5:30 this afternoon. It's pretty neat to see how God works things out.

Tomorrow, we have another important meeting. We will see how it goes considering today's experience. We will let you know.

Well, that's about it. We continue to work on the details regarding equipment orders and planning out the days while we are in the country--stuff like that.

We continue to be thrilled to be a part of this project. There is such a peace we have even though we are technically unemployed and living off our saving to make this happen. It's not much, but we know that this is what we are supposed to be doing at this point in our lives. Thank you for keeping up with our adventure. We are excited that you are coming along for the ride.
