We're Here!!


Just wanted to catch you up on our travel status. We stayed in Miami overnight (courtesy of American). Our new flight was scheduled for 11:30 PM Sunday night. God had a reason for us being delayed. We were sitting in the terminal when a man asked if he could sit in the chair next to us. We started talking to him and it turns out he is a "completed Jew". He had been having a very rough walk with the Lord lately. He was filled with guilt. We were able to encourage him and talked about 1 or so. To hear him talk about his Messiah was so uplifting for us too.

We boarded the plane on time and even left the gate on time, however, as we readied to take off the pilot came on and said we were going to have to return to the gate and add more fuel because we might have to land at an alternative airport in Peru. We finally got off 1 1/2 hours late. We arrived around 7 AM in Lima w/o incident. When we got to customs there was virtually no wait and our luggage (Praise God) was sitting waiting for us. We even got a green light and by 745 we are in the hotel and now I'm taking a nap. So thank you all for praying!

We're thankful for your safe arrival in Peru. We will continue to pray for you to be able to get some rest before all the busyness begins - maybe it already has! We love you guys!
