Departure Immanent

We fly out to Singapore for a month of training this coming Tuesday 10/31 (LAX, 11:25am Cathay Pacific) and then on to Thailand on Dec 4th. We are busy finishing up last minute details - packing, selling the car, buying last minute items, turning in apartment keys, meeting with family and friends one last time, and so forth. Look like we can pick up our visas at Thai embassy in Sinapore. Praise God! We are finally here and it is time to go.

Current Status of this Blog

As we set up our website (www.dahlfred.com), I have not yet done anything with this Blogger blog but I usually post on Xanga (www.xanga.com/karldahlfred) or on the Joshua Blog (www.dahlfred.com/joshua) for anything to do with baby. In the next month, we will probably get this site (blog.dahlfred.com) going as a place to chronicle life and ministry in Thailand as we move there in November, Lord willing.

Joshua Tree and Ordination Service

My ordination service is set for this coming Sunday evening. My parents
are able to make it out for the weekend so it will be good to see them
again before we head off to Thailand for about four years. Praise God
that our financial support has come together sufficiently for us to
leave at the end of this month. We gave notice to our landlord and are
looking for plane tickets now. In the few weeks that we have left we
are trying to not get everything packed up but also see as many people
as we can before we leave. My brother recently came out to visit and we
all headed out to Joshua Tree National Park for a few days. Here is one
of the many pics that we took. I have posted more on Joshua's blog
(yes, we have a blog for our baby, and no, he does not write his own
entries)
