The word "clearance" has a special meaning for us this week - actually there are 2 ways to define clearance for us ...
#1 We received official clearance by Assemblies of God World Missions to leave for the field. After 19 1/2 months of itineration (going to approximately 185 churches and talking to countless individuals about our heart for missions) we received approval to purchase our plane tickets. WE WILL BE LEAVING FOR LANGUAGE SCHOOL (in Costa Rica) ON WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 27!
#2 This Saturday, August 9, we will have our Moving Sale ... and just like you see in the TV commercials ... EVERYTHING MUST GO! We are selling our car, our furniture, wall hangings, lamps, books, knick-knacks, clothing, tools, lawn tractor, lawn mower ... EVERYTHING! Everything that we will be taking to Costa Rica will be in a few suitcases - our clothing and a few photographs.
Last week we went to say good-bye to our families in the Cincinnati area. It was great to see everyone and share in family reunions for both the Hampton and the Blake families.
And the countdown begins ...

Mike and Deb,
Lisa just showed me your blog website. Glad to know that you are comfortable there and I liked the look of your house. Also, all the fruit looked good from the market - cheaper than what we would buy here! Will leave another message when I am at Lisa's again.
Love you - Mom
