WEATHER IN CUCUTA

We made it to Oregon safely!

We are in Oregon and made it safely here. We are certainly exhausted as we are surviving on less than 2 hours sleep in the past almost 2 days, but we are hoping to rest for a few days before we pick up our next leg of the travel on our journey to Colombia. Our visas arrived here in Oregon today so we are cleared to go. So far the only item we left in Alaska is the laptop, but with the help of our great (and trusty) friends, the Reno family, we hope to receive that by way of Fedex either tomorrow or Wednesday. It is a much-needed item for our trip and I can't believe we left without it, but in our rush-enhanced state of mind we were so frantically racing in the midst a treacherous snowstorm to get to the airport. I'll explain in more detail a little later, but wanted to let you know we made it to Oregon! We've met some wonderful people as we're traveling whom we need to thank & we want to extend our thanks to them also.

The journey continues... and when I have a fresh mind I'll write more. We're counting our blessings and looking forward to the countdown as we are only days away now! Praise God!

Love, Genece

Yay!! You are on your way. I was just talking about you guys at dinner tonight. About how shocked your kids are going to be to move to Alaska in the dead of winter! :)

Safe travels!

Genece,

I've been praying for you! Glad to hear you and the visas are safely in Oregon. Get some rest if you can, you have an exciting month ahead. I cannot wait to meet you and your family, I am counting on it. We sang "Days of Elijah," at church Sunday night, it's our Year of Jubilee, think of where we'll be in a week! In six days I'll be in a car back to Bogota with our Isaac, amazing! I keep praying he won't cry the whole time, poor baby. I hope we can follow your journey as we experience ours. Love to all of you!
