A Blogging pinch hit

Hello everyone, this jay manning the blogging front while frances is on mission in europe. just to keep everyone updated this is what we know so far. frances got to frankfurt without any issues. i got a two sentence email from her about 4am. then a few minutes ago we got an update from the team leader:

> Dear Prayer Team,
> Thanks for calling our names before the Father! We all arrived in Chicago
> last night in spite of Gustav leaving 4-6 inches of rain there. While
> waiting for departure, Dianna gave a tract to a young Canadian engineer
> who was powering his ipod next to Paula's blackberry. Paula and Marsha
> also shared with Andy. He had never read the Bible while dismissing its
> message. We thank God for a truly Divine appt.
> Our flight left late but arrived in Frankfurt nearly on time. Everyone got
> a little sleep on the plane. After a confusing tour of the Frankfurt
> airport we finally arrived at the gate and Paula got a seat(she was the
> only one on standby for some vague reason.
>
> We made it to Prague by 5:30 here(11:30AM Eastern). We waited about two
> hours searching for Patti(she was due to meet us here from visiting
> friends in Ukraine) only to find out she did not come. She will meet the
> team in Kiev on Sunday. Her Ukrainian friend is very ill and she stayed to
> support the family.
> Susie, Robin and Dalese, our regional hosts met us at the hotel. After
> dinner together and a brief sharing time we all headed for bed and a well
> deserved night's sleep. We have orientation Sat. AM and then prayer
> walking a neighborhood where one of our church planters is working.
> Love and thanks to all for interceding!
> Paula

It seems that all is going as planned. please keep frances and the team in your prayers.

As this is my first attempt a blogging i must put in the disclaimer that i am feeling my way around this thing, if your computer spontaneously explodes i am sure i had nothing to do with it... fairly sure.... actually not sure.... well to be fully honest it was probably me... sorry.
