Almost Home - 27 Jul 2009

A big howdy-do from Cincinatti! I have another 30 minutes before boarding for my flight to Little Rock. Justin and I parted ways in Paris, as he flew home through Atlanta. Hopefully, he is in the air as I type and will arrive, as scheduled, at 4:30. I know that he is anxious to see his wife and young son. Justin did a tremendous job on his third trip into the mission field. He's becoming quite the experienced international traveler!

I am scheduled to arrive in Little Rock at 5:30 and will meet Lisa, Brittany and her kids for dinner before heading to Vilonia. Daniel has already gone to his hometown of Ashdown for his grandmother's funeral. Brittany and the kids will make their way toward there tonight. Please pray that they all have safe travels.

I'm thankful for this 22nd trip into the mission field. As grateful as I am for the opportunity, it is always good to be home and see my family. Lisa is so generous and understanding to have allowed me to do this work over the past 12 years. I'm thankful for her and my kids.

Unless you hear from me otherwise, this will be last post for today. I'll post more tomorrow and confirm that we arrived safely home.

Thanks for your words of encouragement and your prayers.

Marty
