Whirlwind week!

Whew! What a crazy whirlwind week! On Monday at 6:15 pm, after waiting 27 days, we learned via email that our Travel approval had arrived. We thought the quickest we could leave would be last few days of June, and get Ava on July 1.
On Tuesday, we found out gotcha day would be Monday 6/24 which gave us 2 days to make all our arrangements and pack! Our agency was amazing and made sure that everything was arranged.

We had many people praying for us, and The Lord definitely sustained us and gave us peace. We had a bit of a travel delay in Chicago. Our plane was delayed 5 hours, but they eventually worked it out. We might be the only people who thought those 5 hours were a blessing. We still had a few loose ends to tie up...cancel the paper, find VPns that work, create a prayer list for friends and just relax.

Not sure what we will do while in Hong Kong. It is raining pretty good this morning. We need to do some research and find out how to get around and where to go.

Praising and thanking God this morning for safe travels, that our luggage arrived, that we feel rested and not weary, and for a wonderful email from an ICC worker. Praising God that while it looked like it could never happen, we traveled on Jeremy's birthday. I found out that Ava had her farewell party on Thursday too! Thanking God for the bible verse of the day which was "for I know the plans I have for you," declares The Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11

Please continue to pray for us, for Ava, and for our boys. We miss them very much.
