I "spoke" with Shannon last night on Instant Messenger. I love that service! He is currently in a hotel in Mwanza. As of our chat, his luggage still had not shown up and his CPAP machine still was not working. He and Alex are checking the airport daily for the luggage and looking for either a new CPAP or someone, anyone who could fix it. Someone who fixes stereos has it now and is attempting repairs.
Shannon was planing to attend church with Alex today(yesterday for them now)then try to connect with some of the people over there he wants to meet. I have requested that if he has time, he check out the city-see what a grocery store there holds, look at businesses and restraunts and try to discover and explore the area of town where many foreigners live. Every city this size has one in these countries.
In church this morning the message given over and over, through the sermon, through prayer, and through the choir song was that we need to remember that God is always working. That through the tough times, the difficult times, the confusing times and the good times, even though we may not see it at the time, God is still in control and has a plan. Like I said in yesterday's post, there is a reason that Shannon is in Mwanza right now and not on the island. God didn't check out and take a break only to return and find things different than He wanted them. No way, God does not do that.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7

Won't it be interesting to see what God has planned or why Shannon had to stay back?
