Yesterday was a very special (and at times, emotional) day as our home church held a commissioning service for us. Friends and family traveled from several different states to join us. Thank you to all of you who came! We love and appreciate you.
In a few hours we will head to the airport. As Bart shared yesterday at church, we are now off on the adventure the Lord has for us! Here are some more prayer requests for this coming week. Thank you for praying!
December 7 – 13
– We plan to leave Meadville on Monday before noon for Pittsburgh
– For airline check-in personnel who are kind, understanding and in a good mood
– For all of our luggage to be checked in without any trouble
– Saying goodbye!
– For all of our connections to be smooth and on time
– From the time we leave Pittsburgh until we arrive at our final destination in PNG will be about 80 hours of travel!!
– We have an overnight in Seattle and then 23 hours in Singapore
– That the boys (and us too) would be able to sleep on the plane
– For no trouble as we pass through customs
– For our adjustment to the extreme heat and humidity of PNG (it’s been in the high 90’s and is supposed to get hotter)
– For strength and flexibility as we adjust to a new language and culture
– For wisdom and grace as we meet and get to know our new teammates and coworkers
