So, as I'm writing this, it's Saturday night… actually, Sunday morning. Michael Phelps just finished his historic final Olympic swim, and I'm sitting on my couch, a full suitcase opened on the floor.
Tomorrow, I board a plane to India, but there's a small pit stop on the way… Amsterdam! Our layover is long enough for us to leave the airport and venture into the city. In the evening, we're going into the Red Light District, which has existed in the same location since the 14th century. This is an incredible oportunity for ministry, as well as to learn more about the "industry's" reality today.
Then, we'll finish our flight and land in India! It's been a year since I last hugged the little ones and the family at AH good-bye. Since then, they've moved, babies have been born, and the oldest has left for Bible school. It will be incredible to catch up and I am so excited! Connie is leading and I am support staffing a team of 18. Please be praying for us as we go! For safety in travel, to hear where the Lord is leading us!
Finally, I just want to thank you once again for everything. Thank you for praying! Thank you for your encouragement, for your blog comments, emails, and for your financial support. I have a huge praise- since I last wrote, the entire amount remaining needed to pay for this India flight has come in! THANK YOU! Thank you so much!
I'm leaving you with some some final photos from the Puerto Rico trip:
