It's been a crazy week since last Thursday! The people of VA were evacuating to escape Irene and we were swapping planes and heading to Iowa on Friday. Our time in Waterloo was wonderful. It was amazing to see God revealing His perfect timing. Every aspect, was really amazing. Needless to say, we were moved to tears by the end of this trip by God's provision of EVERYTHING we need! It was astonishing to see everything come together at the last minute! Our support reached 100% and we received gifts to help us pay for half of our baggage. The people at Walnut Ridge were extremely generous and such a blessing to visit with. Everyone we've met this summer has been generous! What made this past weekend amazing was to see God's providence in placing us through difficult trials and right at the end using so many people to meet our needs and bring us great joy in fellowship.
We spent our last few days with family, and our luggage! Packing has been a full-time job. Hopefully all of our planning, shoving, and crunching will pay off as we unpack and hopefully feel settled somewhat soon. It was hard to hear our niece (4 y.o.) talking about missing us and wanting to move to Brazil. And the other niece (3 y.o) kept saying "I'm gonna miss Maicol". Her dad asked "What about Meme?" Olivia: "NO, I just gonna miss Maicol". Quite comical.
We've had such a wonderful summer travelling, raising support, being with friends and family. Really we have been blessed beyond measure. We really do not deserve it! And to think we have been asking for prayer and faithfully asking God to bring us to 100% and He answered just in the nick of time! Astonishing! We are glad to begin our journey encouraged and reminded of God's power and provision. It's the only place we're safe and sound. Now we just can't wait to board this plane!
