February 24th

Almost home.

As I sit in Chicago waiting for my last flight to leave in less than an hour I reflect on how much I enjoyed my trip to Liberia. Yes, there are always times when you travel that things don’t go exactly ‘right’, at least how we want things to go. One of those things happened as I arrived in Chicago. While in Brussels I swapped out the SIM card in my phone from the Liberian carrier to my original SIM card. At least I thought it was my original card. Upon arriving in Chicago I could not get cell coverage and after investigating I found out that the SIM card I have is from someone with a Colorado phone number. Apparently when having my card swapped while in Liberia they gave me the wrong card back. I’ll have to straighten this out next week and get a replacement card. You never can tell when something will come up.

I sincerely miss all of the friends that I have in Liberia and I look forward to seeing how God is able to use the teaching and the resources I was able to leave for them.

Right now I am looking forward to seeing Jenny and falling asleep in my own bed.

I am reminded of what Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz said, ‘There’s no place like home’.

Thanks to all for your prayers and please continue to pray for Liberia Pastor’s Emmanuel, Titus and Moses as they live out the Gospel on the ground there in the beautiful country of Liberia.
