A wonderful homecoming.

Greetings all, Just a short note to tell you all that Chris and I are safely at home. The trip went well. We had to clear 3 immigration jurisdictions, but God placed 3 kind people in our paths. We know that because the U.S. immigration person said we could have been charged a good deal of $ to process simple paperwork as we passed through, but he felt sorry for us and wasn't going to charge us.


We have relinquished our temporary passports and will now start the process of obtaining new ones, as well as all the other items stolen. It was a nice surprise...well, Chris and I actually new that some of you would be at the airport thanks to Hannah B telling Chris via email, to see some of you at the airport to greet us. I got teary eyed, and ALMOST cried. : ) THANKS a TONNE for coming out to welcome us home. That really meant alot to Chris and I.


Thanks Brenda B for that thoughtful gesture. We will never forget that homecoming. Sometime next week I'll post some entries about our trip home, and final thoughts about this whole experience. I'll also share with you some thoughts about the REAL reason we did all of this....our Peruvian friends in Pachacutec. May our event not overshadow the work that continues to go on there.......and we know that God's work is being done because of all the OTHER not so good events that have happened on our return.


Chris and my situation was not the only tragic event that occured, but that is all I'll say about those events for now. Satan is not happy with what is going on between our two countries and our churches.....and his attacks are evident. More on that next week. Until then, thanks again and we will see some of you in church on Sunday........ Blessings.

Peru 2010 - on our way home

Hello all, Just wanted to let you know that we received our passports at 2 pm today. They are only valid for 2 days, so it is definitely time to come home. : ) You can't imagine how relieved I was to see those two beautiful pieces of paper. Roger has been the consummate host. I'll blog a bit more about him in a couple of days. We spent the afternoon in china town (every country has one you know) and in something called "the hole". Another place to buy very cheep movies and clothes. Lots of walking, and I now have the big D : ( BUT, we are glad to be at the beginning stages of our trek home. Keep praying. Much can happen between here and home. !!!!! We should be in Ottawa at 4:11 pm if all goes well. Delta flight number 4027. We leave on delta 150 to Atlanta Then Delta 1748 to Detroit. We hope to see you all soon.....THANKS for praying, and for contacting us.
