Delayed by Fay
Well, we were supposed to fly out of Orlando today (Tuesday) but our flight was canceled due to tropical storm Fay. My travel agent says there are no seats available on Wednesday so we've rebooked our flights for Thursday afternoon, arriving in London early on Friday.
We are coping with the delays and trusting in God's timing. He controls the wind and the waves and even knows why there are flight delays (that was almost poetic). Speaking of travel woes, I heard through email today that the London Underground - subway to non-Londoners - is threatening another strike/shut down just in time for our arrival. Should make things interesting!
AJ's Visa
Thanks for your prayers in this matter but unfortunately we finally got word that AJ's visa has been denied. They say there is no compelling reason - physical, mental, or otherwise - that he can't support himself now that he is an adult. That just means he can't stay long term with us in London. Unless we can find a loophole he'll return to Florida around the
first of the year and live with his grandmother in Panama City while attending college full-time.
House for Rent and Van for Sale
We still need a nice family to rent our 4BR/2BA house in Clermont. We've lowered the rent to $1150 and really need you to pray for someone to move in ASAP. If you know anyone looking, have them call Janet at Rocker Realty, 352-394-4501.
We also have one more Astro van for sale. It's a 2001 model with captain's chairs and extras. We're asking $5000 to pay it off. Call Brad Montgomery at 321-689-6030 if you want to see it.
Home Address
In case you haven't noticed, our new home address in London appears at the bottom of each edition of Bro. Lew's News. As soon as we have a telephone number I'll let you know (maybe next week).
I may have mentioned this before but we have no plan to own a car in London. We will be totally dependent on our feet and "public transportation." Did I mention they drive on the other - not the wrong - side of the road? Did I mention that the price for gas/petrol is twice what we pay in the States?
Support Appreciated
We really appreciate your prayer support and gifts to our moving expenses. In spite of the delays and uncertainity, God has been so good to us. If He prompts you to makea donation to our mission fund you can give a designated gift through FBC Clermont at 498 W. Montrose St., Clermont, FL, 34711. Make sure your check is made payable to the church and designated to the Ecker family.
Let's stay in touch!
