Hey, Does Anybody Know What Time It Is?

Let the time confusion begin. My watch allows me to keep 2 times zones, so I am going to leave one on Indiana time and other on local time. Right now I am in a hotel lobby in Honolulu; it’s 3.30 a.m. here. Today we fly to Sydney, Australia, where, right now it is 12.30 a.m. Friday. We cross the International Dateline sometime today and arrive in Sydney Friday evening. So we leave Honolulu Thursday morning at 8 a.m. and arrive in Sydney late Friday afternoon, but it’s only a 10 hour flight. Can you say Jet Lag?

Yesterday was good. We left the house around 2 a.m. We picked up Matthew S. and Mark R.; Mark went along to keep Matthew company. That was nice, wasn’t it? We took the church van, due to the number of people and bags. Matthew and Mark (we had Luke in the van as well) threatened to take the van to certain places and take pictures and then demand money for the pictures not to be shown, so if you see any pictures of the church van in places where you would not expect a church van, then you know what is going on. Ha ha ha.

Our flight from Indy to Chicago was on time and smooth. We had a 3 hour layover in Chicago, which wasn’t too bad. Then the flight to Chicago to Honolulu, slightly delayed, went well also; it was just long (nearly 9 hours). Not much to report really, which is the way we want our flights to be.

It is such a blessing being together with the 5 people in this world that I love the most. What a wonderful thing is unfolding. I am not worthy but extremely thankful!

Please pray for us. We'll remember you in prayer as well.
