Hi friends,
We received a call today from Payton letting us know he would begin his journey for home. All foreign missionaries are to return to their native country due to the Covid19 virus. We do not have flight plans as of yet. We just know he has a 14 hour bus ride even before he begins the long wait for a flight out. Once he is home, he will begin a strict 14 day quarantine we plan to abide by. We are hoping he will be home before the weekend. For those of you interested, we thought to have a little drive by welcome home parade, of sorts, upon his return. We will keep you posted as we know more of his itinerary.
Payton has sure loved his time in Brazil and fallen in love with the country, culture, and people. We are so grateful for the time he had there and the friendships he has made. We thank God for the many blessings and opportunities of learning that have been provided to Payton through his missionary service. We hope that a reassignment can come quickly but these are uncertain times and things are changing very quickly. We trust in, and have faith in Gods timing/plan, whatever that may be. "Come what may, and love it".
We appreciate your love and support! if you are getting his emails you have been an influence in his life and we thank you for that. Thank you for cheering him on, along his journey.
All our love,
The MacLays
P.S. There will be numerous missionaries coming home in he next few days and weeks. As a community, we can find ways to send our love and support, in creative ways, as they come home under "not so ideal"circumstances.
