Praise God after 29 hours of flights and layovers we made it to Cairns, Australia! The flights had some turbulence but there was no loss of baggage or team members along the way!
When the plane was circling the runway at Cairns I noticed that the climate and landscape was very similar to Papua New Guinea. Lorie has been encouraged that she is getting a taste of what is to come.
The kids have only been excited and move from one event to the next—it has been hard to keep them contained. They are also very tired after 2 days of strange sleeping locations and jet-lag. We were about to read the Bible with the kids tonight when Greer started crying and said he was “just so tired.” We decided it would be more beneficial to have a rested child reading the Bible in the morning than a tired one at night.
Each day pulls us closer to our final destination in PNG. It has been a joy to take a few days to adjust to the new time zone (I am writing this email at 4:25AM MST) but we are getting there as we sleep.
Please continue to pray for our travel to PNG, specifically Port Moresby. It is very common to have delayed flights out of Moresby that can land us in a hotel for the evening. If this happens it will be cumbersome as we have MANY bags that would have to be transported back and forth.
We are only 3 nights away from learning language and culture to take the gospel of Jesus Christ to PNG!
