We survived!

Hey thanks for your prayers. We did great. We felt the prayers. Mark arrived at 7:00 last night. The kids kept saying "Dada, Germany?" It is amazing and ALL GOD that all the children are so lovable and seem basically happy. We have our upset moments don't get me wrong but basically happy children. We will try to go to chuch with our friend tommorrow and then maybe back to the church that is supported by Andy Stanley's church in Georgia. We really like it and there are like three of our translators from past mission trips that go there. We are looking forward to Monday and pray that we do not have to wait very long for their passports and visa's. They could make us wait up to a month. Please pray that that is not the case I will be CRAZY, Mark would have to leave to come back to work. So PRAY!! We know God is in control and I kinda think He knows what He is doing.!!
Love ya,
Chapmans

Of course you survived!! And I agree...God knows what He is doing!! We will be praying that the passports happen quickly!! It has turned cold here again..it is about 36 outside right now, but sunny. Rylan, the Nets will miss you today at the first game. They play at 12:15 local time so maybe we can pull out a win! That is so cool that the kids were so aware that Mark was gone to Germany! We miss you and love you guys! Can't wait to see you!!!

Much love, The Bishops

Hey! I knew you could do it girl. God is so GOOD. I'm so thankful that the children understood about Mark having to travel. We're continuing to pray for everything to go smoothly next week. We hope you are on your way home this time next week! Can't wait to see you all.

Love you,
Allan, Jan & Adam
