Several weeks ago, Tim and I were asked to pray about serving on a new team in Panama City. After praying and talking with the kids we decided to accept the new position. So far so good. Just a change in jobs....at least we are headed to the same country. Eventually.
As part of our training for the new team, we will remain here in Costa Rica until June of 2010. That is six months longer than we were anticipating but there are some great perks to our extended stay! The kids will be able to complete an entire year of school at Sojourn Academy. They have attended this school since we arrived and have all really had a great experience. Instead of having to leave mid way through the year, they will get to finish up the whole school year and move in the summer time. They are very excited about that. :) Tim and I will still complete our language schooling in December and we will participate in hands on training from January through June. The great part is that the two families who we will work alongside in Panama will also be in Costa Rica and train with us. We are very excited to go through the training and the move to Panama as a team. If you have time you can visit the Cawthon family over at their blog. They are one of the families that we will be working with. Derek and Audrey are the other team members but they do not have a blog. So, you will have to take my word that they are cool, fun folks. :)
So, here we are. Here we will be until June. Costa Rica is a beautiful country and we are excited to be able to enjoy it a little longer than anticipated.

How exciting the kids get to finish the school year. It sounds like a great plan God has put in place for you!
Hey Tina,
That last post was me, Donna. I could't figure out how to post my comment. We have been without a computer for a couple of months which means I haven't posted a comment in awhile. I forgot how!
Does this mean you are Hands On leaders now? If so, I think you will be great at it! Thanks for being "fluid!"
Oh.....well....selfishly I am a little glad that I can get to know you better since you will be here during the rest of our stay here. This must have been a difficult decision and yet one more change. What a great testimony your family is to the IMB in that you are "in tune" to the Father. Big hugs.
I'm glad this makes you happy. It does seem like a good thing for the kids... some stability, and being able to finish the school year. Thanks for keeping us posted! Love you lots.

Can't wait to see what God has in store for the Louderbacks :)
Cool. God is so good and He knows exactly what He is doing. The excitement never ends! I'm so proud of you Tina. Way to give those schedules and lists to Jesus. I hope it is getting easier... and more fun to see what He puts on your list!
