Well our adventure is coming to a close as we leave tomorrow from Mexico City back to Minneapolis. It has been an amazing adventure and the prayers have truly been felt as we’ve taken this trip back to the States. We’ve heard so many horror stories of things gone array from other travelers and we just thank God, and continue to give Him all the glory, as we have not had any problems. The Lord has truly protected us on this journey back.
We have met so many great people on the way back and have had plenty of open doors to share our faith and the Gospel of Christ. It has been great talking with different people about our goals and how God has worked, and continues to work, in our lives. We hope that our actions have served as an example and pray that the Lord has used, and continues to use, the conversations and encounters that we have had along the way.
Tomorrow morning we leave from our hostel at around 3:30 to catch our flight out of Mexico City at 6:25 AM. We have two connections along the way, one in Dallas, TX and one in Chicago, IL. We arrive into snowy MN at 4:35 PM and are looking forward to seeing different family members who are meeting us at the airport. We will be spending the weekend in Minneapolis, going to the AFLBS Christmas concert Saturday night so we hope to meet up and talk with many people there. We are fortunate that both of us get to spend Christmas with family and look forward to the coming weeks when we will be celebrating the birth of Jesus.
Thank you all once again for your continued prayers and support, not only on this trip but also during our time in Brazil. We honestly couldn’t have been as effective without your prayers and we thank the Lord for the blessings that He provided. God bless all of you and your families as we celebrate the Christmas Season. Merry Christmas and a Happy New year!
In Christ,
Jon Nelson and Nathan Olson
