AND HE IS OFF TO THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC


Last Friday Dave happened to look at the airline ticket the Church Travel Department sent.  The date for departure said Wed. Aug 28. at 6:25 am.  They had previously emailed travel plans that had him leaving Tue Aug 27.  Dave made a call and it was confirmed that he was flying out on Wed.  I was so grateful to have an extra day!
Wed morning we were planning on leaving our house at 4:30 am.  At 4:30 Parker tells us he can't find his wallet that has his debit card and drivers license in it.  After many prayers and remembering back to the last time he had it, he found it packed away in the storage room inside a fanny pack in a plastic tub.  Wow!
We arrived to the airport at 5:15 am.  Aunt Melanie and Aunt Josie were waiting for us.  80% of the people lined up at the checkin counters were Missionaries!  It was such a great site.  Saying goodbye for two years was rough but knowing he is in God's hands brings peace.  Parker was happy and excited to start his two year adventure.
Standing right next to us was a family with a son heading to the same mission as Parker.  They introduced themselves and acknowledged they had both heard great things about each other.  They were instantly best friends.
