Well, PFO is now over and we’re headed off to Springfield, MO for about 4 days so that I can get some extra job training. Thank you for your prayers, we had a wonderful time of fellowship and making excellent good friends.
One of the ways that God has very much blessed us is that the school for whom Mandie and I will be working is in the mature stages of its development, which means that they have the capacity to pay us a salary. This is wonderful because it means that we don’t have to raise support. However some of the families we have met here do not have this luxury. In our particular small group there were two couples who still need support. One couple is going to Peru, and the other is going to Africa. Since it was not necessary for any of our friends to support us financially, we would just like to ask that they would prayerfully consider whether they would be willing to help support these couples. We have greatly appreciated the love and support (prayer, housing, transportation, etc) everyone of you have given us and we would love to share your generosity with them as well. Thank you so much.

Hello all. Welcome to those who are visiting for the first time. You can comment below without needing to register or anything. We would love to hear from you. Words of encouragement and prayer are always welcome.
A major prayer request has come up since I last posted, and it also was answered earlier this evening! For those of you who do not know, Brandy (my beautiful green Chrystler Town & Country) went home to be with the car gods a week and a half ago. Thus making our transportation situation very scary and hectic and until four hours ago we had no idea whatsoever how were were going to make PFO. However, the Lord is awesome. We announced this prayer request in church this evening and as soon as we sat down Ray Townsend leaned over to me and said (paraphrase), “We have a car and since we’re going to Vietnam to pick up our newly adopted child the exact same dates that you are going to PFO, we would be willing to let you use our car.” So… yeah… God is awesome.
Our current huge prayer request is that the Visa process will work in time.
Here are some pictures from the wedding. Keep in mind these are informal pictures from a friend of Mom and Dad Anzalone, so they are not professional or exhaustive. We still haven’t received the real ones yet. Hopefully when we do, we’ll post them online somewhere and give you a list of links.

Trust me, more pictures are coming. We will be posting pics of my parents and the groomsmen too. For now, enjoy these

Well,graduation is over and we are both keeping busy. Mike is in Indiana looking for a job, and Mandie is traveling the country with her family. Both of us are counting the days til the wedding (19!).
Pray with us that we wouldn’t get so caught up in looking forward to what is coming that we miss the opportunities that are right in front of us. Mandie’s family is in the States right now for a total of six weeks (two of which are already gone!). With all the busy-ness, time is flying quickly. These are exciting times, not only for the two of us, but also for Mandie’s sister, who is graduating from highschool this week. This summer is the last “family time” we’ll have for at least a couple years, and I, for one, don’t want to miss it because of being focused on the future.

This summer is going to be an exciting summer for us, as we are beginning our lives together on June 3. We are both excited and nervous as we look forward to this. As if that weren’t enough, we get to move! On July 31, we are moving to Uijongbu, South Korea where we will be serving at ICS Uijongbu. This is all sure stuff. However, we have several question marks before then for which we could use prayer. We are currently seeking a place to stay for the months of June and July. If anyone has any leads, please let us know. We would love to save as much money as possible, as we don’t have much. We are also not entirely sure where we are going to work for the summer. I have a lead on a job, but it is not guaranteed. In addition, my family is going to be moving to Richmond, Virginia about the same time that we will be moving to Korea.
Please pray for us in this exciting time of transition.
