We have had quite the eventful week! On Saturday, we drove to south Georgia to be with the church. Since we could not be there for a regular service because the Lord has blessed us with many meetings, the church graciously allowed us to be with them for a fish fry they held so we could share our burden for Japan.
As we were leaving, the pastor noticed that we had a flat tire! We praise the Lord that we have been able to carry a full size spare tire with us. We were able to get to our meetings on Sunday without any issues and get the tire repaired at no cost yesterday. Yesterday, we also began to sort through belongings as we prepare for our departure in 70 days.
We were also with two churches on Sunday, and the church we were with on Sunday night voted to take us on for support! We are going to be at a missions conference tonight before heading up to North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Indiana.
