Our time in Asia is quickly coming to an end. On Friday, February 1st we are departing my favorite continent in the world (so far). We are leaving the house in Manila early AM (3-4AM) because we have a 8AM flight out. And when you travel with 25 people internationally, the earlier the better. So we are flying from Manila for Tokyo (4 hours) then from Tokyo to Los Angeles (9 hours).
Yes!! That is the Los Angeles that is located in California which is American soil! I don’t know how to describe in words my anxiety and excitement about seeing and touching America again. I may be kissing the ground or completely overwhelmed with the culture shock – we will see! We have 2 whole days in LA and that should include a hot shower and some sleep and a little shopping at American stores.
Then from LA we fly to Miami and Miami to Nicaragua. You may ask why all the layovers? We are saving a heapload of money flying this way so… budget comes first on this one.
So we leave on the 1st of February and we don’t arrive in Nicaragua until the 4th of February. So we need grace and mercy for all the flying and traveling with 25 people and the 13 hour time change. Jet lag here we come!
The next month in Nicaragua I will be serving in a coastal town doing hurricane relief. We may be tenting again and we do not know if we will have access to electricity and internet. So we are preparing for the worst and hoping for the best. I will update all of you ASAP when we are safe and well on the other side of the world!
PLEASE PRAY – We need the peace, patience and wisdom that only the Holy Spirit can give as we embark on this next leg of the journey.
