Donaldsons In Kentucky!

Well, we have some big news! The Donaldsons in Argentina are soon to be, Lord willing, the Donaldsons in Kentucky!

The Lord has opened the door for us to move and take over an Amish farm in Kentucky, and we couldn't be more excited and humbled to have this opportunity. We are making preparations and hope to be in the U.S. by the end of October.

Here are a few pictures of the farm.

Right now I don't know what else to say, as we are just in awe at the way the Lord has worked this whole thing out.

We will keep you posted along the way as we make our transition.

Have a blessed evening,

Jessica

Peace and Grace to you and yours.

That's great! How close we'll you be to Nashville? I am only about half an hour or so from the TN-KY border.

That is exciting news...

God bless, Bob

Wow! That's a big move! We'll be sad not to be able to live vicariously through your exotic Argentine adventure, but look forward to seeing what the Lord has in store for you in Kentucky. The Stobbarts

Whaaaat??!!!!

And I had secret dreams of moving to Argentina to be your neighbor one day! I guess Kentucky WOULD be a lot easier!

Wow! You've got to let us know how God has changed your course so dramatically. I do love adventure!

Much love to you and your sweet family! I'll be praying for your peace and sanity during this transition. Keep us posted!

Lovingly,
Kim


P.S. What a house! Plenty of room for company.... (I would never do something like invite myself.)

What a beautiful farm! What part of Kentucky?

Hi Kim,

Thank you for your kind comments and prayers. The opportunity to move came about quite unexpectedly, and we couldn't be more excited about what the Lord has planned for us. Neighbors in Argentina would have been splendid I'm sure - something we had prayed for, but the Lord seems to be moving us on. I hope you know that you are always welcome. In fact, I already calculated that it is a about a sixteen hour drive from Nebraska to central Kentucky :)

Have a blessed day,
Jessica

Hi Sarah,

How are you?

The farm is in central Kentucky and it does look beautiful, though we have only seen pictures of it ourselves.

We can't wait to get there!

Have a blessed day,
Jessica
