24/25 August



We're here!!
We woke up at ten minutes to four in the morning in order to get to the Wichita airport by five. We loaded the plane to Chicago only to get off a few minutes later because Chicago had bad weather. With the promised weather updates at seven and eight o'clock come and gone we had to re-book from Wichita to Denver to San Francisco to Beijing. For the wait and the trouble we were treated to first-class tickets from Denver to San Francisco and business-class tickets from San Francisco to Beijing. Shellye was VERY happy. I've added a picture of Shellye enjoying her upper-deck 747 business class seat and a picture of us when we arrived in Beijing.

While waiting in the Wichita airport we met a young Vietnamese woman and her sister going back to Vietnam for their father's funeral. It was an appointment from the Lord and we were able to talk with Catherine about what the Lord has in store for those who die believing in Him. We promised to pray for her and her family.

We're going out for Brian's birthday dinner since he turned 40 on the day we arrived. More later.

Comments:
Hooray! Shellye got her wish! What fun.
We wish we were there with you.

Howard
