Plans...

well, we are on the sunny beach of belize right now, just flew in from corozal. Its 31 degrees Celcius out here, pretty awesome. So, to be completely honest, that is the sentence we(kyle and candace) had planned on starting off this post with. Unfortunately, the week has looked a little different. Now it looks like, "well, we are in a big comfy bed, in a hotel with a view out the window, into the hotel, we just drove in two days ago. Its -31 degrees Celcius out here, pretty awesome." lol, so its been a very interesting week to say the least. Started off with long waits in hospitals trying to figure out whats going on with my wifes medical issues(i wont go into details). These long waits then caused a missed flight to cancun, Mexico, and a hotel in Minneapolis. So we then cancelled the hotel, and re-booked the flights for the next day. We had peace about this, and carried on. The next day we werent sure if we were even going to go, but we decided we really needed to just relax after the crazy week and a half of craziness, so we booked flights for the next day. Went to the hospital, God set up a really quick examine and ultra sound, and we got out 2 hours later, really good, comparing to the previous 5 hour wait, with not getting in at all!. So we took off to minneapolis, to stay the night, and catch out new flights in the morn. We set off for the border, and just before we got there, we looked at my passport, and low and behold, its expired, lol, so we pulled up to the border and asked if they could do anything. This nice man(probly with hidden motives) tells us its ok, pull up to the garage door #1. So we do, and were waiting, and waiting, and all of a sudden, a guy opens up door #2 and yells, "hey, get in this one!" sternly, and we are like ok, whats going on, these guys seem a little pissed at something we did, what did this guy tell them? So we pull into the garage, i started to open my door, and the guy is like "keep your door shut!, roll down the window", ok i said. He then said get all your money, and identification, and get behind the counter, and we do, and the guy is questioning candace, "what! you dont have a purse, wheres your purse?", candace didnt bring a purse cause we didnt think we would need it. Finally they put us in a room that look like a jail, with another couple who is being questioned, the guy is probly going to jail, because he forgot he had a airsoft gun, in his side door. They were pissed at them. So we talked finally to the border guy about our passport( i have no idea why we had to get integrigated for that but...), and he said i would be able to make to belize ok, but coming back i would probly get taken to the mexican jail, for not having a up to date passport, lol. or we would get a 600 dollar fine... so we just came here to grand forks to lay low, and collect our thoughts. Its been a pretty fun time, if theres one thing i would say to encourage ya'll, i would say, when everything is going pretty crappy and you have absolutely NO idea why the stuff thats happening is happening, our heavenly father has so much incredibly more knowledge of the plans he has for us, we just cant understand sometimes. So taking comfort in that, we are joyful as ever, and trusting our father. Love you all. peace out.
