final arrangements

The last week of our first term in the Philippines.  A lot of things have to be in place in order to leave your home and life for 6 months and expect it all to still be here when you get back.  We are looking forward to furlough and will be glad to take a break from Manila.  Manila is a more crowded city than either of us have ever lived in and we are just looking forward to taking a break from the noise and smells of such a large overcrowded city.  That being said… looking at our schedule for furlough I’m not sure we will have lots of  “down” time, but we are sure God will provide what we need.  Please be praying for our trip back to the States.

We get on an airplane 30 min after midnight on our Monday night (technically Tuesday morning)  Then fly 5 hours up to Seoul Korea.  Then we have a 5 hr layover in Seoul and then take a 12 hour flight to Atlanta.  This is actually a really good route with less time in the air than some flights we have taken in the past, but we have never flown this far with Sam.  He is getting really active and hates to sit still for very long.  Please pray for us as we try to keep him safe, comfortable, quiet and maintain our sanity on this flight. 

Thanks for all the prayers.  Hopefully we will see each of you during our time in the States.
