The Move!

As most of you probably already know, we are moving back to Michigan! Our jobs at Campamento Del Caribe in Puerto Rico have ended. There are no more work crews coming until February 2009. Also, they have hired two wonderful Puerto Ricans to fill camp's need for an accountant and a maintanence man. So our time in PR has come to an end. We are coming home!

We spent the last few weeks packing and preparing for our move and figuring out how to get Mia, our puppy, home. It was crazy! But God sure provided!

On Thursday, September 25, we were supposed to leave PR but that day held so much for us to do that it seemed like it would be a miracle if everything went smoothly and we could actually leave. First, we got hit a few days before with a Tropical Storm that flooded a lot of roads in our area making it hard to get around. But God provided and, despite the fact that it didn't stopped raining, the roads dried up and we were able to leave. Then, on the day of our departure, we had to drive 2 hours away and have Mia at a shipping dock by 7:30am then we had to go to a different shipping area 30 minutes away to drop off our stuff and then we had to be at the airport to catch our own flight. The scariest part of the day though was that we had sketchy directions to each of these places and weren't sure we would even be able to find them. But God once again provided! We had absolutely no problems finding the places and didn't even get lost once! In fact, everything went so smoothly that we were finished with everything and at the airport 5 hours before our flight! God is so good!
We arrived in Atlanta on time, picked up Mia with no problems, and were at my sister's house within a few hours. It was great! Our crazy day went so smoothly that it only could have happened because of God!!
So now, we are spending some time at my sister and brother-in-law's house in Atlanta before we rent a car and drive up to Michigan. We are really enjoying our time here! God is so good!
