We flew on British Airways, which took us from Chicago, to London, to Africa. On the way back, we decided to take a week to relax in London, after traveling all over Zimbabwe, and before we travel all over the US to continue to raise support. This week in London worked out perfectly, as it did not cost anything to fly here and we could stay at my mom's house.
This was Andrew's first time in Europe, and aside from spending time with family and friends, we did the traditional touristy things, so that he could see a few of the sights. In an effort to be frugal, we only spent two days in London. My mom gave us the gift of a double decker bus tour of the city, which we really enjoyed.
We are now set to fly back to Chicago tomorrow. Our original flight was scheduled for yesterday, but the flight was cancelled. Surprisingly, the airline did not even contact us. We were all set to leave the house at 5:00am, before an email from Andrew's mom alerted us of the cancellation. Then after rescheduling a new booking we awaited an email with the new itinerary. When I still didn't receive one a day later, I called BA again. There was a mix up between airlines and we were no longer on the newly booked flight. We couldn't be reassigned seats AGAIN because the flight was now full. So finally we were able ot ge another flight, now booked for a later time tomorrow. We still have not received an itinerary for this new flight but have checked online and it would seem we have assigned seats. Unfortunately, this will not be a direct flight, but the brief stop over at JFK is not a big deal after several cancelled flights.
God has safely carried us through this summer. We have travelled thousands and thousands of miles, and He has kept us safe throughout the whole time. We are extremely thankful for this.
Prayer requests:
- For speedy recovery from traveling, once we get to Chicago.
- For a great start to our US travels to raise support, which begin next weekend at a church in Louisiana.
- For me to be able to accurately share the needs of the women and children in Zimbabwe to the people we will be visiting.
- For the Lord to move in people's hearts, and to provide the support JM2Z needs to operate.
