Amy and Nate are engaged!
Congratulations to Amy Winger (Shari’s sister) and Nate Kidder, who became officially engaged on the 1st of January, 2008!
We were excited long before now, but we wanted to give them some time to spread the news. 😉
You may already know that Amy is a child nurse living and working in Sudan. Nate is also living and working in Sudan, though he is originally from the USA (Jamestown, NY). Both Nate and Amy are with SIM.
Working in different locations, they didn’t meet until October and didn’t really meet until November. They visited Canada, USA and Mexico in December (no, not in Mexico near us – and we didn’t find out they were coming in time to do anything about it. 😉 But Shari did visit them in Canada). And now they’re making plans!
What those plans will look like is still uncertain – as you may imagine, two people from different countries living in another and actually yet another (they spend some time in Kenya) getting married introduces quite the tangled red tape. Meanwhile, they’re back in Kenya preparing to get back to work in Sudan.
You can learn more about Nate through the Facebook group I support Nate Kidder (if you are registered with Facebook). Amy’s blog is Under the African Rain.
Congratulations, and all the best in His Hands!
