JAARS Day!

October 4 was JAARS day at the JAARS center in Waxhaw, NC. Maggy and I really wanted to go to visit, but we weren't sure if we would be able to make it. Flying was out of the question and driving was not attractive as an option because it was about a 10 hour drive.

We decided that we would try to make it and it worked out great. We drove up Friday night and arrived Sat morning in time to look around a little and have breakfast in the neatest restaraunt.

The tour started at 10:00 and we spent a lot of time visiting the places and talking with the staff. One of the highlights of the trip was the Alphabet museum. We could have spent hours there! It was fascinating to see the origins of the alphabets throughout the world.

We got a lot of our questions answered about how JAARS operates and the application process. Overall it was a very nice trip. I will try to post photos later on today.

We still have not made a firm decision on which way we will be going. For now, we are applying to both MAF and JAARS to see if either of them will have us. We still have some time. We are depending on God's guidance in the matter.
