A lot of pictures

Here are some pictures of our trip, etc. We are very thankful to God for keeping us safe during our flight, travel, etc. We made it to Florida safely and left there on Monday the 27th to drive to North Carolina. We made it safely here after 11 to 12 hours of driving time. Everything went well and we thank the Lord for that. please pray with us to know God's direction in our next step that we are to take. The mission is wanting us to consider a few things and we are praying about those things. So we ask the everyone please pray with us.



Here is a picture of some of the kids the day before we left. They were playing one last time. There is Jenny, Larry, Trevor, Dan, Breon, and Tanner. Those were the only ones I could get to pose for the picture. The others ran off!

The night before we left Mesha was so gracious to spend a couple of hours braiding Alexis's hair. Alexis wanted her hair done so that her friends could see it all braided up with the beads. Alexis is already asking when she can get her hair braided again.

Tyler and Rodney together one last time.

Alexis and Erianna. Eri has become such a part of our family that we hope she will come and spend some time with us at some point.

On Tuesday, Aprils 21st we were leaving the islands. We don't understand why God works things out in some ways that we would like to be done differently. But we trust God to know what is best and so we are resting in that. He will show us His direction on what to do when He wants to show us.

In this picture are a couple of American guys that Tim got to know during the hurricane, They happened to be there at the airport the same time we were, so they helped load our stuff into the plane. one of the pilots is helping also. We got to know Wes also during the hurricane, He stayed at our home some. The kids enjoyed getting to see him again and we were thankful that we knew one of the pilots.

A family picture in front of the DC-3 plane that MFI ( Missionary Flights International) fly. We are very thankful that we were able to fly with them. It ended up being much cheaper and we were able to take a bit more of out things with us.

While in Florida Tim and I celebrated out 15th wedding anniversary. I am so thankful to God for allowing me to marry such a wonderful guy. He is the love of my life and I'm thankful that my love for him grows every day.

I like the Willow Tree figurines and so Tim got me the one called Promise. I only have three of these figurines, but this one means a lot to me.

I got Tim some cologne. I had broken his in the islands by accident.

While in Florida we were also able to go out on a date. A college student, that is like a daughter to us watched all of the kids one evening. Thanks so much Alicia.

Then the kids in our home church in North Carolina had sent us some money to buy shoes for our kids. they had given this to us a week or so before we left the islands, but we thought we would hold on to it until we got to the States and went shopping at Walmart. So here are the kids new shoes. They love having them!!
