ANDREW IS IN THE USA SAFE AND SOUND, AND WITH NO PROBLEMS!!!!!!!
PRAISE THE LORD!!!
Thank you all so very much for ALL your prayers. The entire journey from Inverness (via rental van) to Edinburgh, Edinburgh to Amsterdam (via KLM airlines), and Amsterdam to Houston (via KLM) went very smoothly - we even had an extra seat on the 10 hour flight, so that made things nice and easy.
Upon arrival at Houston Intercontinental Airport we waited in a long line to go through immigration where we were met by a very friendly INS officer who even joked that Andrew should just go ahead and apply for citizenship - after all he has been a resident for over 30 years!! We nodded silently and had a good laugh about it after we had gone through. Both of our shoulders dropped about 2 inches after he stamped Andrew's passport and we walked on....Praise the Lord!!
Thank you for your prayers...there was a prayer meeting going on in Kiltarlity at the exact moment we were going through, a large group from Houston all committed to pray at the moment we were going through, people in Mississippi, in Ohio, Australia, California, Austin and throughout the US (sorry if I missed your area). This whole unexpected move home, though difficult, has been a testimony of God's grace through difficult times. Our church in Kiltarlity has been a huge testimony to the body of Christ through their kindness, love, care, and generosity.
We have a long uncertain journey ahead, but we hold fast to the fact that God is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow and that his LOVE and GRACE toward His people are incomprehensible. We continue to ask for your faithful prayers as we seek where the Lord would have us serve next.
Blessings to each of you through our Lord Jesus Christ,
Eleanor and Andrew (and the boys too!)
