Leaving Peru...

So, the mission trip is coming to a close and it's been a great trip...but we are ready to be back in the US to do laundry and prepare for phase 2 of our summer trips. Next we'll be in Miami for a few days and then Toni (BWV staff) heads to run our Panama trip while we head up to NYC for a couple days of vacation then to meet up with our South Africa team at JFK to get them prepared and sent off. After they head out, we are going to jump on a train and go visit Caleb's Grammy for a couple days in NH and also to meet up with the Steiger's and Laughner's (fellow Ethiopia adoptive families). Pray for us as Becca and Sakari head out on the first flight from Peru to Miami and then Toni, Steve and I are sending off the remaining 6 flights to Miami. Toni and I will be working on this end, but also once we get to Miami to make sure all the 30 something tubs of equipment gets safely to the hotel and all 515 people make their domestic connections...basically a 72 hour day. We are believing that Sakari and Becca will get good rest on their flight and everything down to the last detail will go smoothly! Thanks for your prayers...we will try and post again in the next several days...maybe once we are in NYC...

We are also thinking and praying for our close friends, the Gibson family as they are in Ethiopia dealing with many obstacles, join us in believing for grace, strength and peace as they complete this amazing journey...
