We have had some wonderful visits in the Seattle area, all people we have known long, and some much longer than others! So many beautiful things. Saturday is the day I try to set aside for gratefulness in the midst of everything. So…We have traveled 3,000 miles already—safety on the road, good driving conditions—thank you Lord.
And I probably will stop saying that whether the notes are long or short. It is unlikely I can keep up daily updates with travel and meetings. We have not been in the US for a week yet, and we have had 10 different kinds of meetings already.
We just got word that Lena and her husband Sergei have somehow managed to get from Russia to Latvia. They have been so heavy on my heart. I can only say, THANK YOU, Jesus! I think from Latvia they will try to go to Poland. And I assume eventually back to Ukraine. Oh, pray for them and people like them who have been through such trauma. And all those who are still caught somewhere experiencing daily trauma and terror.
Abe is working on calling and scheduling meetings. Our greatest difficulty always is that churches only have Sunday morning meetings and we would have to stay here for a year or two to cover everyone on a Sunday!
We had an awesome Sunday, meeting with several groups, old friends, new friends, and people are so kind and interested.
A few challenges with the travel, mostly meaning we got a lot of jogging in! But it went fine except that our luggage was not there in Chicago—still hanging out in Frankfurt.
