We're Home and God is Good

We got the direct flight out of Anchorage last night. When we first got there they were telling us it was uncertain that we would get on because of a weight and balance issue. I wasn't worried though, God had been sooo good and people were still praying. (And anyway we knew we could call the Grant's and sleep there instead of the airport *grin*) . Anyway it turned out the flight from Fairbanks was late. They waited about 15 minutes and said because of air space they couldn't wait any longer so not only did we get on but there was bunch of empty seats. We were in the exit row so lots of leg space but the chairs didn't recline. But all was good. We got to the airport in Chicago and headed home. Long night and day but I am so thankful to God for allowing us this opportunity. Brother Nowling and I were both in such awe that we in Alaska let alone in no time at all this will be home.

It was a great convention with 27 or 28 registered. Bishop JODY Nowling preached such annointed message Sunday. He preached on being "Fitly Framed Together". God has a blue print and though the ark isn't finished yet it's still the Ark. Then as he spoke on being pitched from within and without, he called 4 of the men (young and old) up and had them lock arms (and did they lock arms) and he said the locked arms was the Holy Ghost bringing about unity, and when the enemy tries to destroy if we've been united he can't do any damage. He pushed on the guys and they held each other up. He kept calling more up and the ark got bigger and the Holy Ghost came down and what a way to end the weekend. It was an awesome time together.

We love the people, and we felt the love of the people. Confirmations came from every direction for both of this that this was the right decision.

BUT we're not through here in this region. I love the people here and I need to turn my heart and efforts to our convention and camp. (Please pray for our camping program.) So I'll be switching gears to continue the plans for those things (of course will be still have to be working on the move). I thank God He places a big enough heart in us to love sooo many people. Some of you I have never met and yet your prayers have linked us together.

Jenna will be posting some more pictures on our blog and then be sure if you have ringo, to check out our ringo.

Love ya all thanks for your prayers and I know you'll continue praying for us.
