Twenty six hours since I arrived back at my house here in Greer, SC. I slept fourteen of those hours. I did not realize how tired I would be from the trip. It was wonderful to be greeted by Cheryl, Kristen, and Alicia at the Charlotte Airport yesterday. Today I drove a car for the first time in a month. I still have not watched any television since October 5. And I haven't missed it.
I want to thank Pastor Steve Graham, our hosts Alexi and Luda Pavlenko, my family, our GBC church family, and my associates at HBI for their support before and during my trip with Pastor Steve. I am very thankful for Pastor Selph's support and encouragement from a distance of 10,000 miles. His notes of support give me confidence for future mission endeavors. By God's grace I never worried nor was I ever sick during the trip. My wife Cheryl was so helpful at attending to details where I did not need to concern myself with what she handled so ably. It is another reminder: trust others to handle matters when you are not able to handle them. Not blindly, but freely - and with confidence.
I will post more pictures, observations, conclusions, and learned lessons in the next several days. Stay tuned!
