so much to talk and write about ...maybe the "darkside" does not want you to know.
I have been trying to go to India with my friend and brother in Christ... Rick
we had plans for us to go into Bangladesh as well to see Adam and meet the rest of my new family. Work has been slow or should I say non-existant....so I thought it was a good time to forsake all and go with Kim's blessing. After months of indecision I began to take a step foreword asking God to open or close some doors.So here I am in Costco after taking pictures so I could have 4 of them ..2 for Consulate of India and 2 for Bangladesh which I was planning to drive up to LA and try to get my Visa's so we could go. I had just called Rick who lives in Idaho to make sure I had the right size of picture and my phone rings..Another friend telling me of a job is getting ready to start up( one that I had been waiting for ...for months) so I call Rick back and we begin to pray as I stand in line waiting for my pictures...Thanking God for answered prayer...kinda of giggly knowing He has just slammed the door shut as far as I was concerned.
On to Adam: He had to leave the country by the 1st to get his passport renewed, so he and the new wife take a 9 hour bus ride to Dhaka to catch a plane to Nepal , fight is cancelled, they catch the next fight..he gets off the plane , has to pay for the visa and he has only " Taka " on him ( bangladesh money) so he is told to go out side to the ATM,he has Mastercharge ,they only take Visa, finds this cab driver to take them to a bank,gets his money and returns to the airport to go thru customs( he has already seen the town of Katmandu) finds their bags sitting alone by the conveyor and goes through customs. The cabbie is still outside waiting for them ...Adam says "take me to some hotel" and the cabbie says "I have a place for you and your new bride "
( do you have a picture of what is going on here yet ?)...so he takes them to this place...a wonderful part of town ..a relative of his owns this cottage and it cost them $20 a nite...the cabbie says he never goes to the airport and his name was Promise....
I thank God for Promise..and the Promise that He does watch over us..His angels are there to help us..and for the prayers of many !
brings tears to my eyes just write about this....
Kim and I still continue to try to get through all the paper work..to bring Adam and his new wife home to America...
you pray for us..& them
love
