Well, we have now been in the states two months and we have seen God's provision over and over again. One thing we're very excited about is our one year anniversary is on Sunday! Yes, it is the same day as Mother's Day, which worked great last year because I was able to see my mom on Mother's Day. This year, my mom told me not to worry about it and for Arm and I to enjoy our anniversary, however she's not going to get off the hook that easily, but we will enjoy our anniversary. Arm is planning something and won't tell me what it is yet, so I'll have to let you know what we do next time.
In addition, God has been faithful to us in several ways. First, Danelle has been working at Gordmans department store and she was given the shoe position, which is wonderful because it gives her more hours and allows her to work in an area by herself with a great manager. Arm has been landscaping for some friends of ours for the last 4 weeks, which has been a great job for him and allowed him to make a good bit of money. God has also provided us a great car that gets really good gas mileage, which has helped us save some money as well and we were perfectly on budget for the car. Arm also passed his written driver's test and road test with flying colors the FIRST time he took them! We were very excited about that and he felt more independent and like he had a life in the USA after getting his driver's license. We praise God for how well Arm is adjusting to the states.
We would also request prayer for finding full time jobs. Danelle is looking for a teaching position in ESL or Bible. She has met several important people, but so far only has one lead in Memphis City Schools. She has a phone interview with them on the 13th of May at 8pm at night, so if you could please pray for that time, we would be very appreciative. Danelle is also taking her certification test on June 12 and if she doesn't pass, she won't be able to get a teaching job. Please pray that she will study well and will pass with flying colors.
Arm is looking for a veterinary technician or a veterniary assistant job and has put out probably 30 or 40 resumes, but only 3 places have actually said they're hiring and we haven't recieved any calls yet. He also has to take the TOFEL (English proficiency test) in order to take the veterinarian certification exam. This is quite a challenge since the TOEFL is a college level English test, but Arm and I believe he can do it if given enough time to study. We're hoping to find some full time jobs first and then give him time to study so that he'll do really well on his tests.
Please pray that we will not get tired and discouraged of looking for jobs and that we will trust in God's faithfulness and that He has a perfect job for each of us.
Thank you all for your continued support and prayers for us. We appreciate them more than you know. May God bless and be with you all.
