Update from Drew and Amber Hutcheson Serving with International Justice Mission Kampala, Uganda

From Uganda to Boston: Hello Grad-School, Here We Come! Living in Uganda for this past year has been amazing. It’s been eye-opening, thrilling, and adventurous. At the same time, it’s been home. The friendships we’ve formed, the family we have here, and the experiences we’ve encountered all have made Uganda a place in which we truly feel comfortable. Our work with International Justice Mission has been stretching and fulfilling. We’re going to miss being here. Needless to say, it’s hard to even think about leaving. Nevertheless, the time is coming for us to board another plane and head back to the states. This chapter of our lives in ending... but another is about to begin! We leave Uganda in less than a month, flying out on May 28th and arriving in Florida on May 29th. We will be in Jacksonville for two weeks, after which time we will head to Michigan to spend the remainder of the summer there. Ultimately, however, our final destination is Boston, Massachusetts! Drew will be attending Harvard University (which is in Cambridge) for his masters degree. He will be going to receive his masters in business management with an emphasis in finance. These are exciting times and Drew is eager to be back in the classroom. While we look forward to this next adventure, we also realize as with any new adventure, there comes its own unique challenges. Would you join us in praying about the following? Prayer

-->

• That we would finish our time in Uganda well! We still have much packing to do, Drew has to finish up at IJM, and we still have many other things that need to fall into place before we can leave
• That transitioning back to the states will go well for both us and the kids
• Moving to Boston and that our finances will carry us through
• That Drew would be able to find a good job in Boston that will work well with his school schedule

And please PRAISE the Lord with us:

Praise

• We were able to obtain Eloise's passport and her U.S. visa is in process!
• We have found buyers for most of our furniture and appliances, as well as our car! A huge relief!
• That the Lord is faithful and is upholding us during this time of transition. So thankful for His peace!

We would like to mention that upon our return to the States we are looking to purchase a mid size SUV or minivan. If you are selling one or know of someone who is, please let us know!

Be on the lookout for one more paper newsletter with a special gift from Uganda in it once we get settled back in the U.S.

Thanks for walking this journey with us. We have been overwhelmed by your love for and support of us during our time in Uganda. You have helped make a difference for the vulnerable and oppressed here! THANK YOU!

In Christ's Love,

Drew, Amber, Isaiah, & Eloise

A "boda boda" is how Amber gets to all the appointments she has had to go to in order to get Eloise her visa and passport. Boda bodas are all over Uganda. You flag one down and pay them to take you to your destination! Isaiah and Eloise in their Ugandan attire!

Working on the paper work to get Eloise's visa. Adoption requires SO. MUCH. PAPERWORK! The sorting, selling, and packing has begun!
