Fly Away Home

I hope I haven't infringed any copyright laws with using that title but it is fitting! On Tuesday night I'll be inone the big metal birds flying my way (well God's laws of physics will cause the plane to fly and I'll simply ride along)to the north country of Canada. After 11 months in Africa, I expect great shock and wonder and cold to come. Eventhough it will be August, but who knows. These last few days of packing and running around have been tiring, butsoon I will have a chance to chill, figuratively and maybe literally as well! I have seen from the three times ofmoving from house to house in Benin that I can know just how deeply rooted by relationship with Jesus is on moving days!All the stress and unknown at times, without putting my life in the hand of my Creator, I am really in deep water!(well that goes for any day really) I am not too excited about flying. But I know that stastically its saferthan driving (especially compared to driving in AFrica!). Anywho, I have been also saying good-bye to many friends.Though it is a parting we hope to see each other again when I return after some weeks at home. I really want to sharewith you about Fidard. He is doing so much better. He is never drunk and he says there is peace at home more and more.He tells me that he just can't describe the change that has come over him! I am so glad and humbled. All I'vedone is prayed and shared a little of God's love and counsel, and look at the wonderful results. With the crammedschedule of this last month we did not start the Bible studies but he is looking forward to doing so uponmy return. Well thanks again for you prayers and God bless.
