Petition Approved!

Alpha and I received news at the beginning on the month that his visa petition has been approved! This is the first step in the visa process and now we can apply for the actual visa. We are waiting on some paper work and there is a lot of paperwork in our future, but we are so excited that step one is complete!

We are hoping to move back to the States mid July to early August 2016. We will be traveling to see family for most of August and would like to start work in September. (We will also have a reception, hopefully in Chicago so you all can meet Alpha. More details to come.) We have no idea what we will be doing yet. Your prayers are greatly appreciated as we have already started the job search and are open to any possibility.

Alpha has his Bachelors in Business Marketing and Human Resource Management. His passion in playing, writing and composing worship music. He also loves engineering and is looking to get his Masters in Engineering.

I have 2.5 years teaching experience from early childhood to middle school. Specifically teaching Art and Drama. I have also written and developed the curriculum for grades K to 8. I have loved teaching and would like to continue in the States, though I do not have a US teacher qualification (I will be working towards my degree when we return.) Administration, event planning and service dog training are a few of my other talents and passions.

If you are reading this and know of a position you think we should apply for please email me. We are completely open to God's plan and leading. We have no idea what is ahead, but know and trust that God has a perfect plan and it is beyond anything that we could ever imagine!

Prayer requests:
Jobs for both Alpha and Emily
Housing 
A Car
Familiar support base, this could be friends or family
A good Church. 

We are so thankful for all of your love, support and prayers. We look forward to seeing some of you on the other side of the ocean!
