Jet lagged and thankful

We arrived in Jakarta Saturday evening and tried very hard not to fall asleep during the two hour drive to Kota Baru. That's a fight we didn't win. I remember Laurie asking a question, and as I was answering it, she was asleep. But, then I couldn't remember the question. I'm sure Molly and Charity were impressed and amused with their new guests.

After a great breakfast we went to church with the ladies and met many of the people we'll be seeing throughout the week. For lunch, Molly was very excited to share her banana and blueberry pizza with us. I soon discovered that there's nothing wrong with a man wanting a little meat on his pie. The food was great, as was the opportunity to get to know some of the other staff members

Tomorrow I'll be speaking to the Middle school and High school chapels. Thanks for praying for me. Laurie is up the following day speaking at one of the elementary chapels.

Sorry this note is short, but its kinda hard to keep my eyes open. Knowing the time difference, we're praying for many of you that are just getting started on your Sunday that you'll have a great time as the church gathers together. God bless each one of you.

Just visited with Molly - she's so glad you guys are there! We're thankful that you arrived safely in relatively good shape! Can't imagine that many hours on planes. Love the blog - and the pics - we'll continue praying for your time with the BAIS community. Keep the highly entertaining blog posts coming! We love you guys - we're headed off to Grace for church!
