IT'S COMING DOWN TO THE WIRE!!

Can you believe that it's less than a MONTH before we leave?
Well kinda! We are going to Hawaii Dec 12th-27th to see my family for Christmas. Then we get back and will leave TWO days later for Australia! ahhhhhh Luke and I are frantically getting all our ducks in a line for the big move. Here I am burning a TON of paperwork that I hadn't gone through in years.. just to lighten the load before we go. Just old tax info, receipts, letters, etc... Julia Dellar and I had a blast sitting here and burning it in her fire... we had the HUGEST pile of ash after we were finished!


Then the LAST BIG GARAGE SALE!!
We had WAY too much fun making garage sale signs. At first it was like, "oh just grab some cardboard and a black marker and make a sign.. but if anyone knows Julia there's NO way an ugly ol sign is going to be made... She puts her hands to anything and it turns into gold.. so we made ya know the "usual ol" Garage Sale Sign.


We put out pastries and coffee to sell for a fundraiser for Australia. =) I mean why not?


HOW DO WE PACK ALL OF THIS?
We spent the day figuring out what to get rid of and what to pack... It's a good thing Quantas Airlines let's us bring surfboards at no extra cost! Thank you Jesus!!


JUNIOR HIGH
We got the privilege of being our Church's Junior High Missionaries of the Month! Reality is teaching the younger generation about missions and thinking globally so they asked us to share our story and where we will be headed so they can be supporting and praying for us. How cute! Here they are all praying over us. It's amazing some of the prayers that come from the heart of a Junior Higher!

4 Years Together!
Nov 5
We celebrated our four year wedding anniversary up in Solvang!
It was a blast! God just refreshed us and gave us a deeper love for one another. We know He is gearing us up to pour out to DTS students in Australia.


Okay, for those of you who knew about my obsession with this suitcase set I wanted and how God had it delivered the DAY before we left for our anniversary... here is the picture and of me an o so happy wife! =) I'm such a girl! Isn't it cute though? It's a cheap set but you know how girls are.. beauty before function. =)

SHARING NIGHT
Luke and I had a Sharing Night this last Sunday at the Dellars and it was SO MUCH FUN!! For all of you who don't live in Santa Barbara here is a video of our time. Luke and I shared about where God is taking us and what He will be doing with us over in Australia.

Hey you guys! This is Briana and Jeremy Morris (Chrissy and Ivan's friends in Colorado). God has been doing amazing things. We have ended our relationship with the mission we were trying to go to in Ohio, but the Lord still has called my husband to be a missionary pilot. We have been invited by our church leadership to help plant a church in Sydney, Australia and they are setting us up a non-profit in hopes to minister to the islanders around Australia with aviation to the unreached. Crazy, because we might be moving to Australia too, but in New South Wales. We are still praying for full confirmation. Please keep us in prayer.
