Jon + I leave for the airport in Houston at 6:30 am tomorrow...why must we live so far away :)
We get on our plane at 11:00 am that will take us to Canada, then get on another one that will take us to Belgium, and then on our last plane that will bring us to Kigali, Rwanda at 6:50 pm on Thursday, Aug 11th (9:50 am central)...we will let you know that we have safely arrived as soon as we can get online on Thursday.
In other news, Jon has accepted the senior pastor position at Wickes Church of the Nazarene in Wickes, Arkansas. What a gift to have a job and a loving church community waiting for us when we get back in December! God is so good, and I look forward to seeing what He will do in Jon during our four months in Rwanda, and what He will do in Wickes as they prepare for new leadership.
Thank you to all of those who are checking in because they received a prayer card. We are excited to share this adventure with you!
And a very special HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my mother, who will be another year more awesome on Thursday! We love you!
Much love,
Emily Elizabeth
