[Guyana-Mission-Report] Moved South...

We finally made the move!!! We'd been delayed and delayed with our move to Shea, but finally Thursday evening we decided to go for broke and get off before the weekend. Joy and I stayed up till 1:30am packing up our stuff. The next morning we both felt like we'd been run over by a mack truck, but we were determined to press on and leave for Lethem by the end of the day. The hardest part was getting off by 3:30pm so we get down to Lethem by sunset! I don't think we could have fit more than a shoebox into that airplane. It was so full that when I opened my door after landing in Lethem, a couple items fell out! We've had a wonderful weekend in Lethem worshiping with the believers there. Right now I'm getting ready to go to Shea to finish up some stuff before Joy and Jenna come to join me. I just got an email from our bible worker in Aishalton that says that the Medex in Aishalton (who oversees medical work in Shea as well) is very upset that we're moving into town. He's trying to oppose us and create predjudice against us. We've been working hard to work through the right channels to make sure that no one gets their feelings hurt, but I guess we've offended the old devil, because he's trying very hard to stop this move. I'm flying out to Shea today to meet with the Captain and talk about these issues. I'll deliver our mosquito nets and finish caulking the house to make it mosquito proof. Please, please keep us in your prayers. This is a critical juncture in the move and right now we're in no-mans land.
