We are OFFICIALLY going to South Africa!

As you all know from my last post, Nicole and I have been carefully tracking the cost of plane tickets to South Africa over the past couple of months. You also know that the cost of those plane tickets has been steadily increasing, and that Nicole and I were very apprehensive as to how we were going to gather the funds to buy the tickets. Well, once again God has proved His faithfulness! As it turns out, the cost of leaving in August and returning in September is actually about $1000 cheaper than leaving in July and returning in August.

After verifying that these new dates would work for the Brittinghams, Nicole and I were able to buy our plane tickets! Yes, that's right, we bought our plane tickets today! And, somehow, God managed for us to do it for $1566.41 each. Wow. We will now be leaving Friday, August 13th (arriving in Kokstad on Saturday, August 14th) and returning on Sunday, September 19th (leaving Kokstad Saturday, September 18th).

Thank you all so much for continuing to pray for us and for this trip. It is so encouraging to see God's hand in this trip in every single step!
