From Al & Deela (pt 2)

We are now back in Iowa for two days visiting Deela's brother Tom's family and returning their car which they graciously loaned us to run to Texas with! We had a very nice time in Texas with Deela's family. It is a busy week with final preparations for our staff conference and our Europe Leadership Team gatherings.

We stayed with her step mom and were able to see four of her siblings and nephews and nieces. She had been able to see the other siblings last fall when she flew back to California for her nephew Joe's wedding. The kids did pretty well traveling and we kept our sanity on the 13 hour each way trip. Great trip.

Tomorrow we return to my parents in Illinois to wrap up our trip. On Sunday I preach at a new supporting church and then we dash to the airport to fly back to Holland. Pray for strength, health and travel safety for us all!
