June 2013 Newsletter

Wow-wee!  A lot has happened since we last sent out a newsletter.  Our first big piece of news (and a huge praise) is that our house sold!  God’s timing was absolutely perfect during this trying time but He once again taught us to wait on Him.  Before we had even received an offer on the house, Leah had already given her notice at work that she would not be returning to teach in the fall.  Not sure how we would pay our mortgage with only one income, God intervened and provided for us!  Please rejoice with us.  We’ve had our house on the market for about 2.5 years!

In April, we attended our 2 week Appointee Orientation Training, in Colorado and we left with our hearts full and our to-do list a mile long!  Those 2 weeks were spent fellowshipping with other new missionary appointees, learning about WorldVenture, preparing our speech for the New Missionary Celebration Service, learning about the next steps in our adventure to the mission field, and worshipping God while receiving encouraging words from staff, team mates, and friends.

We’ve prepared a small presentation that we would love to share with you.  If you are interested in hearing more about how you can partner with us on this journey, send us an email or visit our website.  We love talking about what God is doing in our lives and how others can come along side of us to experience God’s goodness every step of the way.

Daryl, Leah, Gabriel, Eden, and Silas Burnette

FAQs
Q1: What’s next?
A: We are very busy planning, studying, reading, and preparing for full time missions.  This includes many trainings, readings, and fund-raising.  We are taking a 10 day trip to Mozambique, in August, to meet other team members, explore school options for the kids, see ministry to children-at-risk first hand, and confirm God’s calling in our lives.

Q2: When are you leaving?
A: When God is ready.  While in Colorado for our trainings, we received our budget and we are relying on God to supply all of our needs.
