Home...

Finally I am home... after 30 hours of flying we arrived home last night at 11p.m.

We were delayed in Vanuatu for 4 hours which made for a stressful time because our plane in Fiji a huge 747-400 was to leave at the time we were scheduled to arrive.

I was so tired that there was really no way I wanted to stay another night in Fiji.

An absolutely amazing thing happened because they held the plane until we arrived there.

I can only attribute that to God's gracious mercy. As jet lagged and tired as I am I have been praising Him continuiously all day, but I am still pretty teary. I agree with one of my readers, I will never be the same after having spent time in the place.







Early morning picture of our plane.

I showed this picture to the children in the village and their eyes bugged out and they started to giggle. Most have never seen a picture of a plane let alone seen one. What an amazing blessing to have the opportunity to fly. We really live in a very small world.

I have so many stories and I will share some of them as time goes by, but It always takes me about 3 weeks to get over the jet lag. Gaining a day back and having my days and nights mixed is hard especially since I struggle with tiredness in normal times.
