I flew home on Saturday, and although things didn't go as planned, I did make it in safely. I was originally supposed to land in Raleigh/Durham North Carolina at 7:42 on Saturday evening, with Rebekah landing at 8:10, then my parents driving us back up to Virginia. Well, flights in and out of Chicago were delayed, and I was late enough getting to Chicago that I just barely missed my flight out, and the next one ended up being delayed, too. Eventually I was able to get out of Chicago, but I didn't land until about 1:46 AM - Rebekah had gotten in at about 8:30, so my parents had gone to dinner with her, then they came back and picked me up. By the time we drove the approximately two hours to get home, and then time change while we were on the road, it was 4:30 Sunday morning when we got home. But there were no safety issues, and we were all at church that morning.
My church family here at Chestnut Level Baptist Church, where my father is the pastor, had a spaghetti dinner right after church to help with the funds for my trip this summer. God is so good, and the people here are so loving - this dinner helped tremendously toward my funding, and I am now over half way funded!
Monday evening I had to take Rebekah back to Appalachian Bible College, in West Virginia, where she is attending college. I spent the night in the guys' dorm, had breakfast with Rebekah Tuesday morning, and then came home in time for my physical in preparation for my trip. Thursday I went in and got my shots, so now I am medically ready to go on my trip, too. The only thing I know of that I need to do now is finish up the stuff for my Visa, and I have not received the last form for that yet.
Saturday I will be flying back to Texas and Sunday I will pick up a friend in Dallas after church and then drive back to school, to finish out the last six weeks of my fourth semester.
Please pray that God help me to do well in my last six weeks, and to bring glory to Him in all that I do. Pray that the rest of the paperwork for my Visa come soon, and that everything be processed with that quickly.
