We’re moving to Chennai, India! Yup you read that right! Chennai, INDIA!
We just received word that Logos Bible Software will be sending us to India where Miles will be supervising Amnet, the company Logos outsources much of its text processing to. Logos has had a presence in Chennai for almost 2 years now (Miles will be the 3rd person living over there). We had known this was a good possibility for about a month. We will be leaving in July (exact date yet to be determined), and will be there for anywhere from 6 months to a year. We’re pretty excited about this adventure. We will be having a huge sale to sell off a bunch of our stuff and putting the rest into storage while we are gone. I will be leaving my job in May or June depending on when we are leaving so that I can be sure to have time to pack everything up and gather the things we will need for our time over in India. We, meaning mostly myself, will need your communication and support for I will not be working and will want to keep in touch with those of you I am leaving. We will be moving into a house/apartment fully furnished and given a chef, a chauffeur, and a cleaning person. It sounds pretty amazing. We will have a new laptop with internet including Skype and a webcam as well. We will keep our blog updated making sure you are all a part of our big adventure. My dream will be to get involved with World Vision which is based out of Chennai, India. The little boy we sponsor (Lalit) is from there. I am excited to potentially meet him and get involved with other children in the slums over there and volunteer time with this organization.
This is an honor for Miles to be asked to go and represent Logos with Amnet. They are moving him to a salaried position which is good for us financially as we can just save money since we will have very little expences to worry about.
So many things have happened this past year that was of course planned ahead in preparing us for this trip. We are so nervous and excited in anticipation to see what God has in store for us in India. This opportunity is a dream come true and we are so thankful.
Love in Him,

Wow!!!!! How exciting!!!!!! Isn't God great to give us so far above what we ask or even think? I'll be watching for updates.
Whoa!! I can't believe it Jenny! When I first read it I swear it said Indiana...in my mind at least and i was like, oh that's cool. Then I read it again and was SHOCKED! That is so awesome that you guys get to go there! What a neat experience for you both! Please keep me updated on what's going on, k? Love you!
WHAT?!?!?! We MUST get together before you move...seriously, I mean it!
wow very exciting! i love your attitude about the whole thing. it reminds me of what miss nelson told us in career ed. "if you are willing to ride with God, it is like being on the back of a motorcylce with bugs in your teeth, HOLD ON!" i always think of that when i am getting ready to go on a God adventure (I know Utah is no India, but still an adventure nonetheless) i will be praying for you guys! :)
I am SO excited for you, Jennifer! And I am excited that you'll be getting a new laptop with a webcam...we can skype! :oD
I will be praying for your preparations...emotionally, physically, financially, mentally, and spiritually. This is such an incredible opportunity, and I am so excited to see what God is going to do with your life through this!
I just heard your news last night when I talked with Grandaddy and Grandmama. Wow! I went straight to FB this morning and from there to your blog. What an incredible--life changing--adventure for both of you. I like the part about the chef, chauffeur, and cleaning person, but especially the opportunities you will have with Logos and World Vision. I look forward to following your reports. Love you!!
I'm so excited for you Jenny!! :D And i love all the new photos! Miss you and love you! I'd love to help you with anything i can this summer if you need extra hands getting ready to go!
