Waiting in Madrid

This morning we caught the Aircoach from Banbridge to Dublin Airport to begin the first leg of our journey to Mexico City. Already we have known the grace and help of God in our travels, with a journey laced with God´s providential care. We had originally booked the Aircoach for twelve people at 12pm, but upon boarding the coach we found that the driver had no record of our reservation. With tickets in hand we waited to see if we would be allowed to board and travel on time. What did we find? There were twelve seats left! This may seem very small, but to a team stepping out in faith to go in the Lord´s service it was another token of His help and presence.
We were also deeply grateful to some folks from the Church who came across to Banbridge to wait with us and wish us well. Church elder Paul McGilton prayed with us which set us up for the day.

On arrival at Dublin Airport we were greeted by Stephen and Esther Williamson who guided us to our check in, dining hall (we all enjoyed roast dinner with gravy etc - this missionary work is already proving trying!) and departure gate with their customary grace and warmth.

Our flight to Madrid left on time (amidst an airport which was crammed with delays and cancellations) and we have had a smooth flight across to Madrid. Presently we are waiting on our Mexico City bound flight assured that the God of Psalm 121 goes with us on our forward journey.

Thank you for all of your prayers, it means so much to us to know that you are upholding us. Below is a little photo of the crew in Dublin Airport, including birthday girl Laura who is making the most of the fact that by crossing timezones she can enjoy longer celebrations than normal.
