This posting is being done in flight to Brussels the evening of September 7th. The whole team made it to Portland just fine and successfully checked in 16 fifty-pound bags! And each member has a pretty hefty carry-on, too. Whew – it was a piece of work but we did it. Yeah God! Got to Philadelphia late so we had to hotfoot it to our next flight – got there just in time to check in with just a few minutes to spare. We blessed all of our bags so they will make the connection, too!
How cool is God? Well, let us tell you – our seating assignments on the US Airways planes we were booked on had Virgil and I seated in different areas of the plane, so we asked them to fix that. And they did. So now we are seated in the front section of the economy class – the one that doesn’t have a seat in front of it. AND we are seated next to Pastor Carmen DiBiase of Philadelphia (Pastor D) – a wonderful Assembly of God minister for the last 72 years! He has been in at the same church the last 62 years! Pastor D is on his way to speak in several churches and seminars in Brussels, Germany, Italy¸ Belgium, and to a youth gathering in Maasmachlen in Holland – all at the young age of 90! We were amazed when he told us how old he is – he actually looks like he might be 65 or 70!

Back to the team – Jessica & Shailynn are great to travel with….no complaining, smiles all around, and wonderfully full of energy. They are going to be a wonderful blessing to have with us during our time in Uganda. Of course, Kevin, Mark, Sandy & Ashley are great to travel with, too. They are super excited to see what God will do in and through them. They have a good word to bring to our friends in Uganda.As Pastor D says “Dieux est Bon!” -- that’s French for “God is GoodowjHdddddffffuhjkbyuigljk eeeeow H!” And we in turn say – ALL THE TIME!
