Have you ever felt God going ahead of you, protecting and opening the way for you as you headed toward your goal? That is how we felt this past Saturday, September 13 as we headed back to Venezuela. Here is how our day went: we had a direct flight to Dallas, Texas and then to Caracas (Chicago had huge delays that day with cancelations because of stormy weather), the cost of the excess baggage we took with us was less than we anticipated(300 pounds of Christian books for the Christian bookstore), Hurricane Ike (didn't affect the Dallas airport at least till after we left), we were only charged a very minimal fee for "all" the books in customs in Caracas and wonderful friends met us with a pick-up truck to haul our 8 large suitcases home. What a day and what a God we serve that made it as easy as possible for us! Thanks for your prayers.
We are now unpacking and getting resettled in our apartment and enjoying the wonderful welcome home we have received by our brothers and sisters in the Lord here. It was hard saying good-bye to our Grandkids, children, family and friends in Indiana (loved the pizza and ice cream party we had) but we know and have the assurance of God's peace that we are to be here for now. We look forward to many wonderful times together in the future. Love you all.

Glad you made it there safe. We thought that there might be some delays because of the hurricane. I guess if someone is crazy enough to go to Venezuala, they open up the runway. :-) God has been good to our family in so many ways!
