On the 26th day of October 2010 we stepped off an airplane and proceeded to the line for immigrants. Just moments after arriving at the counter the immigration officer said some beautiful words. "Well Benjamin (Ross' first name), since I have just stamped your passport, you are now an American citizen." WOW, what an amazing day! It was a long journey, but worth every step and every struggle.
We are nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains near little town called Thurmond. Abbey lives on a farm just 5 minutes' walk from our house. It is peaceful and, thanks to our Wonderful Creator, it is BEAUTIFUL. The turning of the leaves for fall is a spectacular site. One we have not seen in 6 years.
Our reunion with Abbey is even better than we anticipated. We wake up every morning and struggle to believe we are actually here and get to see her every day.
Please pray for our time here in the US. Pray that it will be a time when we will renew our spirits, our strength and our determination. Pray that as a family we will grow closer to our Lord and be able to adequately proclaim the works that He is doing in Kenya.
Pray that we will soon be able to be reunited with Leah's family in Texas and the rest of Alan's family in Georgia. We currently do not have a vehicle and we are not able schedule a trip to visit them until we do.
Thank you for all your prayers.
Blessings,
The Fleming Family
