Our family will be leaving for a six week mission trip the last part of June. We will be working with the Fairview Park Christian Church. Our main goal will be to enourage the believer's and disciple the seeker's in Yuen Long, Hong Kong.

We're Here

Well we are on the other side of the world. The 15 hour flight was relatively uneventful. The kids did great, and it was facinating to see our flight on the screen we went directly north from Chicago to the North Pole and Siberia, (that was awesome to see from the air) then south on the other side over China down to Hong Kong. Tj's meds were great, not only did he not get motion sickness, but he actually ate 2 meals! Incredible for him. We arrived on time, Scott Smyth picked us up from the airport and we drove 30 minutes to Fairview Park, Yuen Long. We had a great supper then all were tired to we went to bed early, about 8:30 their time. Big mistake because at 1 a.m. their time both kids and myself were wide awake. So here I am at 3 a.m. HK watching Aristocats with Ariella. We survived though!
Tomorrow is a busy day, 9:30 Sunday School, 10:30 Worship service followed by a lunch prepared by the Phillipino ladies (they do it every week) followed by about an hour long Prayer service at about 2:30 p.m. followed by a Bible study that is usually 2-3 hours long.
So Thank you for your prayers. We love you all!
