Sorry for the no post last night- we have been extremely busy here for the good- of course not all has been fun- taking care of "business" that has to be done after someone dies.
We also will probably be going back home on Monday- would have gone tomorrow, but Ethan has strep throat... side note: our 15th anniversary is tomorrow.
However, we have now been trying to help a fellow missionary wife in need. She is a missionary wife in Scotland... while we were on the trip to South Carolina, we learned that her father had passed away and they were trying to get her out of Scotland to the states for the funeral. When she first learned of the death, the ticket for she herself was $1400. By the time she had found someone who could charge it to a credit card, it had shot up to a whopping $2400!!! (yes, just for one person!). This burdened the hearts of my husband, my brother and I, and through this, we have been busy working to raise the money to re-pay this debt of hers. We've sent countless emails and have been making phone calls and are making some progress. We are excited to see what God will do!
My Daddy was a champion of raising money for missionaries and we feel like this would be a great way to honor him. (want to donate, by the way? ;o/ I gladly will tell you where to send the check.

Happy Anniversary! Hope you can do something special together!
Continuing to pray!
Psalms 23:1-3 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Make sure she tells them it is for a family funeral. When we flew for my dad's funeral a few years ago we got a special rate because of that. Hope it's not to late for that to save her some money.
Happy Anniversary!
Debbie, unfortunately that was not the case. The tickets were going up by the minute. This happened almost 2 weeks ago. She got here (from Scotland) for the funeral.
