a dangerouse trip

many things going on
Hi Folks,God has blessed our little mission here in Nicaragua MIGHTILY in the last week or so. There have been minor delays (as always), but there have also been steps taken FORWARD.As you know, the truck arrived safely into Nicaragua, with a tired but happy missionary (me) at the wheel. Since its arrival, the truck has had a "mataburro" (front, push bumper) attached and some extra lights added for the hazardous journey the rest of the way to Puerto Cabezas.As is often the way, the last part of the journey is the most hazardous, so I need your prayers for safety please.I will be traveling this afternoon, evening and into tomorrow morning (a journey of about 20 hours) with Supervisor Gustavo Zavala to Puerto Cabezas. I was under the impression that he knew the way completely and would add a margin of surety to the trip. When he was looking at the map with me this morning however I realized that although he HAS actually made the trip before, there appears to be no CERTAINTY to the route to be taken. I suppose it has to do with climate, weather, terrain and other factors. At least we have heard that the people that were stopping traffic at Suma have let people continue on through now. All is well, as of now, and I will send another update within a day or two of arriving into Puerto Cabezas.We are excited that Doctor/Pastor Jim Chamberlain, and Doctor/Missions Director Phil Allen are arriving into Managua this afternoon. Their flight has been delayed by two hours (we don't know why), but they are coming. Because of the delay, they will have to spend the night in Managua and journey out to Puerto Cabezas tomorrow. Supervisor Zavala and I should actually be able to arrive into Puerto BEFORE they get there tomorrow, barring complications of course.Dios le bendiga grandemente a su familia y ministerio.Casa de Servicio, InternationalMissionary Aviation, Medical EvacuationChurch of God, World Missions Project #: 065-0497http://www.casadeservicio.orgRichard & Carolyn Becton1135 Ponderosa DrCleveland, TN 37312210 392-9574 (for dialing from the US, and for messages)011 505 613-5824 (Our number in Nicaragua)http://www.myspace.com/rbectonhttp://www.casadeservicio.org/blog/
