Day 1 at General Assembly

Thanks for your prayers for our safe travel yesterday. We had no problems with security & our needles in Atlanta. In fact, having the needles & syringes in our carry-on bags worked to our advantage. The NW Airlines clerk took us directly to the security area and explained our situation, then put us at the head of the line!!The flights were easy and we arrived at our hotel around 4:30 p.m. The injections I am taking, combined with the air travel caused me lots of back and leg pain yesterday afternoon. After supper last night, I returned to the hotel and went to bed at 8:00 p.m. and awoke this morning feeling great!

We made our first trip to the RCA Dome today. We got registered, then toured the exhibition hall. We met lots of dear friends, and so many of our prayer partners. Two of our Nazarene General Superintendents (Middendorf & Diehl) greeted us and assured me of their continuing prayers for my healing.

We had lunch at one of our favorite Italian restaurants nearby, then came back to the hotel to rest. I am trying not to overdo it while here, and will try to pace myself so that I can truly enjoy the week. Tonight we will attend the NMI Missions Service. Dr. Nina Gunter will be preaching, and it will be a great worship experience.

So far I have only seen Pastor David & Paula. The rest of the staff are here somewhere, but are hard to find among 40,000 other Nazarenes! Thanks for the prayers. God is helping and we are having a wonderful time! I love you!
