Home and waiting

We had a good trip home from Guadalajara; I enjoyed a 12 hour drive to Laredo to bring our vehicle out of Mexico, then flew to Calgary. The other 3 Thiessens flew directly. I had to bring the SUV out as it also had a 6 month tourist visa. Coming through the border was easier than going out as I had good advice and overhead aerials of the streets so I was able to find the correct office to get my tourist sticker removed. It was a bit of a close call in getting stranded in line without gas as I was coming out...I had just under a 1/4 tank when I got to the border, but sitting in lines with the vehicle running had me on empty when I got through.
A wonderful place called steppingstone guesthouse gave me a place to sleep and park the vehicle as we return to Canada. I met an excited and amazing man of 69 who is ministering to young people in Mexico. He shared his testimony as I helped him load his van with items he was selling. I was challenged by his zeal for ministry and excitement for God's powerful movement in Mexico.
At 4 am I was off to the airport as my good host gave me a lift so early. When I arrived in Calgary, my phone didn't work, as I had misplaced a phone number I needed, and couldn't use the pay phone to get the number. I was wondering, "What now?" Well I was a reluctant facebook user, but it sure was a good help this time. I found a message waiting for me as to how to get to where I needed to go.
We left Calgary Wednesday, the day of the flooding, without a clue it was coming. When we got to La Crete the next day, we heard what was happening.
The terrible disaster has a small side effect for us... the Mexican consulate is in one of the worst hit areas of downtown. We now don't know how long it will be until we can have our interviews for our visas so that we can return to Mexico. We were scheduled for July 3-4th, but are doubtful they will be able to get in the office this week. We are very empathetic for the many Calgary residents and pray that they will be able to clean up and recover quickly.
But for this reason, we may have to stay in Alberta longer than anticipated and take a short break from Language School. We tried the Vancouver and Saskatchewan consulates, but they are very filled with appointments and advised that we continue with the Calgary consulate. We trust God has a plan in this for us. Pray with us as we wait and ask that He conform us to His will.
