Brief Update

Buenas Noches,
Things continued to progress today.  The police clearance was translated and DHL'd from Madrid to us today.  They should arrive on Tuesday.  I plan to go to the Consulate in Houston on Wednesday to pick up our VISA's.  :-)  
then...
The movers come on Friday, the 15th.  We'll likely fly over on the 16th (on those "one way" tickets), assuming all goes well with the move.  We are CLOSE.  

It's been an exhausting few weeks, but we are so thankful for God's leading and provision.  When we felt overwhelmed, somehow we were able to take a step back and gain perspective.  The details, while important, really are just details.  We are sure this is the step God has for us next and even in the busyness, we have a surprising peace about this move.  Thanks to the many of you who are praying for us.  

We appreciate your love and care for us!

Jason for the tired Risley 3

P.S.  (a housekeeping note)
I am trying to make the blog more readable.  I increased the font size on a few things and darkened the text.  Maybe my eyes are getting old... but it wasn't easy to read.  Hope this is better.  ALSO, I removed the requirement to log in for leaving comments.  So... you can share your thoughts and remain anonymous... you know who you are...
