The Eagans Arrive in La Ceiba

From Ed:

We arrived safely from hurricane plagued Florida yesterday. God blessed us in that we didn´t have to pay extra to ship the two surplus bags. All of our luggage arrived intact and on time. As we were checking into the hotel, the Millers appeared in the lobby. They both cried as they described what a huge blessing they have received in their 3 months in Cauquira. Br. Miller did a huge amount of work on the house.

We´ve just returned from the weekly get together of all the missionaries stationed here in La Ceiba. One is a missionary pilot [who] offered to fly out to get us if anything happens.

We heard a word preached by the Pastor from Calvary Chapel Melbuorne who was in Sarasota due to the hurricane. I believe that´s where Vic Canale now attends. It was a perfect word for us just prior to departure. They prayed over us, comforted us and encouraged us.

Br. Paul Benham virtually said I am to do whatever the Lord puts on my heart to do. Praise our Living God!

We´ve purchased our tickets and will depart early Thursday morning for the Moskito Coast. The girls are having a ball in the hotel pool as Karen and I get debriefed by the Millers. The weather is gorgeous. We heard tonight that Hurricane Ivan might be heading our way so please ask everyone to pray for our safety. It would be a little too exciting to arrive in our site just two days before a hurricane hits.

Karen got quite weepy last night once we got to the hotel room feeling guilty that she left her Mom and Grandmother after the death of her grandfather. She loved him deeply. Please lift her up in prayer in this regard.

We love you all very much and appreciate all you are doing for the body of Christ!
