God is good Part 2

Keep in mind while reading this that we leave the 3rd.

We finally got our passports, two days before we leave! On the 31st Ben and I were in town running errands and we were supposed to get our passports that day but when we got back they weren't in the mailbox. I thought to myself, "Ok, no worries, we can still get them tomorrow."

Well tomorrow rolls around and we go to Bowl and Pitcher with my family in Spokane to hike around near the Spokane River. We leave a note on our door with our signature saying to leave all mail and or packages for Benjamin and Kristin Carlson with our signatures. We got back later that afternoon and found a note saying "Sorry we missed you, your package will be available for pick up Sept. 4th at 8:30am."

Well....that's not going to work, we leave the 3rd!! So we call the 800 number on the back of the note as we drive to a friend that lives near by who works at the post office. She wasn't there and the lady at the 800 number wasn't helpful. We then decided to drive into Cheney to the post office. Even though we knew it was closed we were praying that someone might be there. As we pull into the parking lot there is our friend standing outside getting ready to leave on an errand. We asked her about the package and she told us she had seen it earlier that morning and she would get it from the mail carrier when she came back from her route. Then she offered to bring the package out to us.

Praise God for answered prayers and small towns. :)

We leave for Seattle today at 5:30pm and from Seattle we go to Chicago and then to Madrid. We should be landing in Madrid at 7:40am on the 5th.
