MISSION: Uganda Blog Update 11-20-2008

Greetings from Ketchikan! Thanks for praying. Our travels have gone smoothly so far, and everyone's healthy. We had great meetings in Gateway Baptist Church (Pastor John Judson) on Ketchikan, and in New Hope Baptist Church (Pastor Richard Ensley). God has blessed and provided every step of the way up here in Alaska, and we are now preparing to head home.

I'm getting the tire put on the back tomorrow. It finally caught up with us, days before we are set to return home to Missouri. I got in touch with Wings of Alaska, an air courier service in Haines that handles FedEx shipments, and they had my tire shipped from Haines to Ketchikan in two days. We are in Ketchikan until Sunday, when the ferry to Prince Rupert, BC leaves, beginning the first leg of our long return trip. Pray for clear roads and good weather. There is much that can go wrong on the Alcan between Prince Rupert and Seattle this time of year. Pray for the driving as we try to get home in time for Thanksgiving. Anna and I are going to drive in shifts after we stay the night in Seattle until we get home to St. Louis.
