Happy 2010 - an exciting year is ahead!

The big news has finally made it to the blog: I'm engaged!!! Mark and I are happily looking forward to 2010 to begin our life together. Already we've been amazed by God's amazing provision for us and all the love and support of our family and friends. We found out yesterday some good news that means we don't need to go through a bunch of immigration hoops we thought necessary to marry in the states (since he's British). Here's what Mark had to say on his blog...

I am very happy to say that Jennie and I announced are engagement just a couple of days ago. I spoke to Jennie's father and asked for his permission to marry his amazing daughter. We are both very excited about what the future holds. God has opened up so much for us in the last few months, and we are excited to see what adventures he holds in store for us over the next few years. We plan to be married at the end of July, in Denver USA. This obviously means that I will not be extending my Medair contract at the end of May.

From now until the end of May I will be living and working in the DR Congo. Jennie will be working in Kampala. I will be able to see Jennie on my visits to Uganda for holiday, but please pray for protection over us as we will sadly have to spend some time apart over the the next few months.

Please continue to pray for us as we prepare to get married and spend our lives us together, that the Lord will bless us, continue to guide us and show us exactly where he wants us to be. Please pray that God will always be at the centre of our relationship and that he continues to work so actively in our lives.

So much has changed in so little time and I can't imagine it any other way! Would love and appreciate your prayers along the way, friends!
