Southeast Asia Day One

Well, we are here...safe and sound. But only the the hair of our chiny chin chin! After the 15 flight from the U.S. to our country of destination we only had an hour to make our transfer flight. This meant going through immigration/customs leaving the terminal to catch a bus (that showed up really late) and then running through the airport like headless chickens. And honestly, we didn't make it but unlike the states, they actually called the plane and held it at the gate until we could board. The Father graced us unusually on this one and we were so thankful. It is Saturday night at 8:30 as I write this and we are running on 3 to 4 hours of "plane sleep"...if you know what I mean. Not exactly like being in your bed. We arrived in country and met our contacts from the company, a delightful couple who have lived here over 10 years and who truly have a heart for the people. We had a traditional meal of fried dumplins, hollow tube greens (like spinach), spicy rice with pork and now we are about ready to hit the sack. Long day tomorrow so we need you to talk to Father on our behalf. We will board a bus with backpacks, suitcases and a borrowed guitar to get to the actual location of our people. Soooo excited to actually be there after talking to Father about them for so long. I am hoping we will have good internet where we are going despite it being a little more remote. If so, I will keep the updates coming.
