Happy Easter and a Quick Update...

Hello everyone!
He is risen!!! Happy Easter to all of you!
We just wanted to take a minute to share an quick update with all of you on our trip planning so far.
We were extremely blessed by your generosity and were able to book our airline tickets not quite on time, but around the deadline we had been given. We had a couple of hiccups in booking our tickets and unfortunately will not be traveling with the rest of the group on the way back to OKC. This has nothing to do with the time of our booking as we were booking our tickets at a meeting all at the same time. Apparently in the middle of our booking, the systems decided to update and our booking didn't go through right away. When it finally was processed, the return flights with our group had been filled. This isn't a big deal though, as we will be traveling within an hour of our companions. We just have different layovers.
We were also very excited yesterday because Kate's passport arrived in the mail. She had already possessed a passport, but since we got married she had to change her name. We sent in her previous passport a couple of weeks ago and were impressed that the new one arrived so quickly.
We are counting down the days to the beginning of this trip. We are appreciative of your great generosity and prayers for our efforts!
We ask that you please continue to pray for the safety of our group in our travels and that we can bless those around us the way we have been blessed by so many of you.
In Him,
Joe and Kate
