We have a six hour layover in Chicago, and realized it was well worth it this morning. When we got to South Bend, we found out that our travel agency had not properly processed our ticketing information. They were able to print my ticket right away, but Sheila and Mandy did not have tickets! They were on the itinerary and confirmation emails I had received, but they had never actually gotten tickets for them. After a half hour on the phone, we were finally able to get it straightened out and we boarded on time. I hardly broke a sweat because I knew there was still another flight to Chicago and we had time to work it out.
We will leave Chicago for Hong Kong at 1:15 Indiana time. We will be on this flight for almost 16 hours. Mandy is letting people by our waiting area know that we are going to China and she will have a new little brother. That definitely makes the entire process well worth the discomfort of a long flight.
Thanks for all the prayers from church, family and friends as we prepared for this trip. It was especially meaningful to have a number of you gather around us, lay hands on us, and bless us. We are grateful for your continued prayers as we go through each step.
John
