Hi Friends and Family! Well, our trip here didn't go quite as planned. Due to high winds in D.C. we were delayed a couple of hours which, in turn, made us miss our flight across to London on Friday. So we spent Friday night in D.C. and flew to London on Saturday. Of course, we missed our connection to Kenya, so we had to wait to catch the next flight on Sunday morning to Kenya. We stayed Saturday night in London. We actually debated staying in the airport in London because we only had a few hours before we would need to be back for our flight the next morning. Many miracles have happened along the way including having our luggage - all of it - arrive in Kenya today with us. This was no small thing.
Overall, we are exhausted, but excited all at the same time. We know that when we are weak He is shown to be strong, mighty, and able.
Please be patient with me as I can't get my email to work and this is my only way to communicate with my family right now. Hi Elizabeth and Joshua. Here are the pictures we took at the airport. Miss you both and love you completely. Hi Cory! So wishing you were here to share the adventure. I'm reminded of all our many traveling adventures and the many crazy places we've been. Pray hard and don't forget to feed the children. :) Love you forever, Carole. PS Guess what Michael is eating in this picture from London?
It makes me so happy to see that face. Glad you made it there, and, yes, I have been feeding our kids. We are specifically praying for strength for your first day because we know it will be a long and tiring one coming off all the travel. I love you and miss you already!

Carole & Michael,
ReplyDeleteYour blog was a welcomed sight. We read it yesterday and were very happy to do so. I wrote a comment but undoubtedly I don't know how to get it to go through, as it is not among the comments posted. Hopefully this one will make it.
I'm with Cory in praying for you and Michael to have the energy to get through the first few days as you become adjusted to the time change, etc. At church yesterday we asked for everyone to be praying for ya'll and a lot of folks came up after church and said they would definitely do so and asked questions about the mission itself. So know that even more folks are praying for all of ya'll.
Have you seen Little Carole yet? Hug her and her family for me. How are the dresses going? I bet they will or have brought smiles to many faces.
I pray God will bless each of you as you share His love with the people of Kenya and that each family you reach out to there go away knowing that they have seen the hands of God working among them.
All is well on the homefront may it be so there.
Love to all, Mom/Nana
Hey Sug! Not sure if this will go thru - but glad to here from you - feels like you've been gone weeks already! Know we are praying for you daily and can't wait to hear more of how God is revealing himself to you!
ReplyDeletePraying for restful nights!
