Just seems to be an <\/span>adrenal gland problem, which hopefully in time and with rest, will get better.)\u00a0 As always we felt so loved and cared for by our dear friends.<\/p>\n<p align=\"LEFT\">The next week, Dwight traveled by car up to WI to attend some meetings.\u00a0 He also enjoyed making contact with our pilot and family, Jon and Adie Leedahl. (They had returned from PNG for more medical help after losing his leg from a motorcycle accident.) On the return trip, he almost got stuck in the late snow storm that came up. But God helped him to be able to keep going and was able to get far enough south to get out of it, and spend the night with our friends (Paul and Lois) near Des Moines, IA.<\/p>\n<p align=\"LEFT\">The following week, we began to prepare for our long drive south.\u00a0 We rented a truck that <span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">was big enough to haul a trailer with a vehicle on it and on March 30<\/span><span style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: xx-small;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: xx-small;\">th <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">we pulled out of Wichita.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span>The 2 days of travelling went very well, and we were so grateful for the hotel room that one of our special friends paid for us. \u00a0We arrived in McNeal, AZ late afternoon, about 5pm; as we had gained 2 hours.<\/p>\n<p align=\"LEFT\">The maintenance team had so graciously temporarily furnished the house with the necessary appliances and a sofa and some chairs. \u00a0The hostess team had a bed all made up and clean towels and a clean house waiting for us. Over the course of the next few days, several ladies gave us \u201cwelcome\u201d gifts of dish towels, dish cloths, etc. and even meat for our freezer! At the break time on one of the <span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">mornings, they had a welcome for us. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-family: Calibri,Italic;\">We certainly did feel very welcome! <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">Then on April 10<\/span><span style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: xx-small;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: xx-small;\">th <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">we headed north again to Wichita by road again. From there we took a <\/span>flight to PA where we attended a member care symposium.\u00a0 We came away feeling very blessed and also equipped with some good materials that will be helpful in our new ministry.<\/p>\n<p align=\"LEFT\">We made it back to Wichita and will be here for about 2 weeks. We hope to be able to visit some supporters not too far away and also help our son move into a smaller apartment.\u00a0 Dwight\u2019s brother and his wife (Doug and Rachel) also will be coming through on their way south. Then it will be time for us to also head south and get more settled into our new home and ministry there in McNeal.<\/p>\n<p align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri,Bold;\"><b>Please pray <\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">for our transition.
