Perfect Timing

... yet God is good.

Earthquakes, tsunami devastation.

... yet God is good.

A family separated, boys stuck at school.

... yet God is good.

Radiation concerns, empty shelves, should we evacuate?

... yet God is good.

Waiting, waiting for our stuff. We were robbed.

... yet God is good.

When we look back at March, so much has happened. Yet through it all there have been many blessings. One blessing was the perfect timing of our scheduled Asia Pacific missionary retreat in Guam. Shortly after we were commissioned we were told of this retreat. The timing ended up being perfect. It was such a gift from God that we were able to get away from the stress of all that we have listed above.

We had the opportunity to spend some time to worship with and visit with people from the Church of God churches on Guam. They totally spoiled us with leis for the women, and candy leis for the kids. They also provided a delicious spread of food after the service on Sunday.

It was also good to catch up with the other missionaries in the Asia Pacific area. Some we have known for years, and others we quickly became friends with.

In addition to all of the rest and fun times that we had, we also had a time of spiritual renewal through our worship and conferences together. I am sure we are not the only missionaries thankful for the hard work of Don and Carolyn Armstrong, Gary and Gwen Bistritan, and Jim and Mary Ann Hawkins, who made this time such a blessing for us all.
