Nelson's surgery has been scheduled for November 12

We anticipate that Nelson will arrive in Harrisburg tonight with Vanessa at around 10pm.  He has some pre-op visits scheduled for next week, and then surgery is scheduled on Monday, November 12th.  

Yesterday morning we told our kids that Nelson would be coming Friday and ended it with "God is good!"   To which Ellie replied, "No, God is great!"  

Later that day Jen was telling me about a prayer Ellie had prayed on Monday.  It went something like this,

"Dear God, please let everything happen for Nelson in order.  Let him get his passport tomorrow, then his visa the next day, then his plane ticket the next, and then come here the next day."  

That's just about how it happened, too.

Our kids are seeing with us how God is bringing this about.  And faith in God matters.
