Today was a very early day leaving for the airport in St. Louis by 7am. David Fincher called and said that St. Louis had a terrible storm last night and many flights were delayed. He did a quick internet search and confirmed Dezi's flight was in the air. We got there just in time to find her flight was only delayed for 10 minutes. We were able to get a couple of pictures when the boys first met Raena. She was so shy but by the time she was in the van she was laughing and teasing her big brothers just as one of the family.
We went to Chad & Alicia Edwards folks house in St Louis where we experienced the power outage that affected a half million people and had a great time swimming and introducing them to Raena too. It was great for Raena as Caitlyn & Allyson Edwards are a little older and speak wonderful Chinese. We then drove back to Moberly, stopped by my folks apartment and showed her off for a few very sleepy minutes and then came home, introduced her to Hunny and her new room and now she is sound asleep.
In Ecclesiastes 3, it says, "What does the worker gain from his toil? I have seen the burden God has laid on men. He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end. I know that there is nothing better for men than to be happy and do good while they live. That everyone may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all his toil—this is the gift of God. I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that men will revere him."
After all the toil and the seemingly unending process, only these words can express what the Lord has given us this day, everything beautiful. All is well.

Hey Worstells,
It is amazing to see that God has finally brought about the fruits of His promises. I know a huge sigh of relief has falled upon you all. We have made the move and are currently working. We will check out a church this weekend about the possiblity of partnering with them to do part-time youth ministry while we work and go to school. Almost seems like what we were doing in Moberly. Oh, well. We love it here in KY. If you guys are ever in the state, let us know so we can maybe meet up with ya. We are only about an hour from Louisville. We love you guys and miss you so much. Thanks for everything. We will keep you in our prayers...never stop what you love the most--recruiting for Taiwan.
Love you guys,
Ashton and Amber
AWESOME!
Can't wait to see you all together!
Mke.. you are probably one of the most amazing men I have ever met. You have from day one always been kind and encouraging to me. Thanks for always being so real and to genuine. I am so very happy to see that your family is FANALLY all together. Its really a cool thing to witness even if it is via internet. Jill and I talk about Taiwan all the time now. We are both just pursuing it until God closes that door. In the mean time while she will be finishing school I have had a full time youth ministry come knocking at my door. I am curently prayfully and with wisdom and discernment trying to pursue that. Please keep that in your prayrs. I love you man. Like a friend, like a brother. Thanks for all that you do. Tell the family that I said Hi and you are in my thoughts and Prayers.
