OH Yeah we are here
Hey Guys.
We had an awesome adventure. It was off the hook. The only bad part is that our family wasn't too happy about what happened and we are so sorry that you were sad we were not there but as you heard we will be coming.
God was so awesome during the whole thing. He was there every step of the way. We could not have done the journey without him.
At 10:30 we made the decision to meet the ships in the canary island at 2pm we were heading for the airport in houston. Our flight left the US at 7pm and we were in London around 10:30 am. Then we met our connecting flight and went to the canary island. Our plane had problems so we were late because they gave us a new plane. Then we met the ship and no one but the captain, facility manager, and the facility manager wife knew that we were coming.
We suprised the whole ship. It was so nice because we were able to encourage them and be a breath of fresh air to all the crew.
It was so hard because Joel and I were on vacation mode but we had to switch to spiritual warfare mode. It was so hard. The enemy was really breathing down everyone's necks on the ship. But as the bible promises He that is in you is bigger than he that is in the world. And God was bigger than anything satan could throw at us. We had women prayer meetings everynight. WE would pray most nights but twice each woman brought one praise and worship song so we could "Get our praise on" The last night we prayed was new years eve and we prayed for our friends and family members that didnt know Jesus as their personal savior. It was so good. THere were so many tears of just crying out to God for those we loved.
THere is so much to tell but when we get in person we can tell you the whole story. But can I tell you how good God is. He brought us through every step of the way. Being out to sea was so pretty. The sunsets and rises or 360 degrees and the water was the color of deep deep blue. It is undescribable. Some people were having personal problems but GOd always gave Joel and I a word of encouragement for the person or someone else had a word of encouragement from the Lord. Isn't God sooooo good.
Well we love you. And miss you and can't wait to see you.
We have new photos check them out on our Flickr sight.
Blessings,
Dess
