we're home!!!!!!!!!!! (wir sind zu hause!!!!)

Endlich mal! Wir sind zu Hause, Gott sei dank! We are home! We took off this morning from Medicine Hat and flew 3 hours to Abbotsford. From before Penticton you could already see Mount Baker, that's how clear it was (and that's how big the mountain is). From there Dad didn't need the GPS anymore, he knew where to go. We landed in Abbotsford around 12 pm and were welcomed by family and friends, it was great! Even roll kuchen and wasser melon were waiting for us, how nice, thanks mom.

It's good to be back home! Thank you to all who prayed for us while we were gone, it is so much appreciated, we needed it so much. Prayers do get answered, that's for sure. Even when we thought there was no way we would be able to achieve this trip of a lifetime, we were encouraged when we thought of all the people thinking about us, thanks. We hope we can do the same in return.

And thank you to all the people who let us in their homes! Your hospitality was amazing! Thanks for doing our laundry and feeding us and giving us a bed, we couldn't have done it without you...again, if any of you are in our area, just look us up, we're glad to have you too.

Danke fuer alles unser Brasilien familie! Alles gute!

We will get some pictures up soon, just wanted to let you know that we're home safe and sound, with our families, friends and our pets!

Check back soon for some pics....

Dear Penner family
Praise God for the safety He provided on this amazing trip. He has answered all our prayers. He is always faithful to His children isn't He!
It was a real pleasure to get to know you three nutty people, Brazil nuts being my favourite!!!. And I still envy that fourth mt seat in your plane. Ruth and I are so happy and thankful that you are home. May God continue to bless you all in everything you do.
Someday, God willing, we may meet you dear people again and that would be cool.
Big hugs
We love you all
Hank and Ruth Goertz

The trip ends with beautiful weather to guide you into Abbotsford. Congratulations.

Such a wonderful journey, I am going to miss logging into this site to follow your steps.

After all the welcome home hugs, being in your own bed etc, I bet you will feel a little deflated after such an epic journey, but putting it into a story and album will be fun, re-living it while its all fresh in your mind!

Again, congratulations to you all, and thanks for letting us all be part of it. Welcome Home!
