MIRACLE AT THE AIRPORT

On this trip Charlie & Wayne needed to carry our missionary, Shauna Hefner, some personal items her mom had mailed to us. After calling the travel agent we found out an extra box or suitcase would be over $120.00. So we just divided up the 40# that was mailed and put in Charlie's two 50# bags and made them 70#. This would be only $25.00 each to be over. Worked out very well I thought. Wayne was also was over about 5# or so in each bag. We had decided to just combine Wayne’s overage into one bag and pay another additional $25.00 for 8-10#. Charlie prayed for an understanding ticket agent. His prayer was answered as he approached her he explained the two of them were traveling on an international mission endeavor and they had luggage that was over since they were taking some supplies to a fellow missionary. She said so why did you come to me and he said because you looked like a friendly face and I prayed. So she said your prayers have been answered. She was a Christian and quoted scriptures and proclaimed the goodness of the Lord and how wonderful for them to be caring the gospel. When Charlie got ready to pay for the overage on his two 70# bags she said "What are you doing?" You asked and the Lord has answered your prayers! Put your card up."

What a blessing that was. We have been showed favor by ticket agents before but that was very unusual with overage on luggage. Praise the Lord. What an awesome God we serve. The trip was off to a very good start.

Blessing,
