Praise the Lord for His Goodness and Faithfulness! We had a very smooth, uneventful journey from Albania to the States yesterday! The children were troopers, even when we reached Chicago (sans any sleep on the flights) and their internal clocks were up more than four hours past their regular bed time. Ellie had one moment of anxiety with ear pressure during our descent into Istanbul, but she was able to rein it in -- a real sign that she's maturing! After Happy Meals (conveniently located outside customs in Terminal 5), they promptly fell asleep in Gigi's suburban and slept the entire trip down to Pekin. We unloaded all of our stuff and collapsed into bed around 10:30 PM, central time!
As we have shared different photos from our trip on social media, friends have (understandably) asked where we are going to be and when, here in the States.
We will be sending out a more detailed schedule in our next e-newsletter. In the meantime, our general plans are as follows:
May 21-31: Central Illinois
June 1-4: Lancaster, Ohio (visiting Nathan's parents)
June 5-21: Wilmore, Kentucky
June 22-26: Indiana
June 27-July 31: Ohio (with a trip to western PA and another trip to Indiana for mission meetings sometime in there)
August 1-31: Illinois
September 1: Depart for Albania!
We look forward to seeing lots of friends and family and church partners during these weeks!
