I can say two things about Candidacy thus far:1. It is SO exhausting and difficult with a newborn and a toddler (being in classes all day on little sleep, running back and forth to the house because I was barfed on, being up in the night bouncing a baby that is wide awake, calming a screaming 2 year old so he doesn't wake the baby up that we spent forever trying to get to sleep.....).
2. It is SO fun!!!!
We have already built some great relationships here with the other missionary Candidates and often stay up late just talking in the grass having root beer floats together or celebrating someone's birthday. Last night we all went out to eat together. In fact we have joked that we want to tell the Candidate Committee that we are a "package deal" when it comes to where they send us. I really hope we do end up with some of these couples....they are awesome!
It has actually worked out pretty well having Callie in the classes with us and she has slept most of the time, which is a huge answer to prayer. The other Candidates are very understanding and even think her little grunting noises are cute :). Another answer to prayer is that she has slept the longest she has ever slept during the night while we've been here, though we have had some tough nights too.
On Thursday we met with the Candidate Committee to discuss our concerns/passions/preferences regarding the different overseas programs that we have heard about. They have made their decision where they will send us but are taking the weekend to pray about it, so we have to wait until Tuesday to find out!
Please pray:
- That God will continue to direct them regarding these decisions and that He will prepare our hearts for the news.
- For continued strength and energy, and that Callie would sleep better at night.
