Arrival!!

And we have arrived!! Through many cancellations, delays and 3 different airlines (our arrival came from a different airline and a different location than first booked) we are in the country that God has planned for us to be in, to begin the work that He has chosen for us to do, even before we were born. We are happy to be here, and are waiting on 8 of our 12 bags that did not arrive with us! Big surprise, as many others here are waiting on their luggage also. Through this, we have learned not to take for granted even the simplest of things. Air travel was rough, and now we have little clothes, but I know that we are to trust and rely on God and not the things of this world. So we are praying that our bags will come to us before heading to our final destination city on Tuesday. Our team members are waiting for us there with temporary housing while we will look for a place to stay. Thank you for all your prayers during travel. God must be planning to use us for some great things, or our enemy would not have been trying to hinder us at the last minute from coming, and discouraging us by our bags not being here. Pray that we stay focused now more than ever on His word and rely on Him alone.

Glad you have arrived.
We sure do love you and are so proud to know you are following God where ever He leads.
Gman Says Hi. You have been in our hearts all day. Our church is having a rivival and God placed you on our minds through out the day.
Much love
D and G
