Wow!! We've made it here!

We are here!!! After 21 hours of travel, we are cozy in the Holt Guesthouse in Seoul! Once again the Lord paved the way ahead. We had smooth travel and peace on the journey. I am not thinking in complete sentences at the moment, so we are just going to work with short thoughts! Bear with us!
  • All the logistics went perfect today (and yesterday)
  • 14 hours from Chicago to Seoul is a really long time to be on a flight! Brad and I have new respect for all of you who have traveled internationally! We wonder what it will be like on Saturday with Emma along!!
  • The Korean people seem very warm, friendly and helpful, but there is definitely a language barrier - we ventured out quickly for a sandwich dinner (and a scoop of Baskin Robbins!) and we were definitely communication challenged!
  • Downtown Seoul, where we are, is like, um, downtown L.A. x10! It is sooooooo crowded, the people drive sooooooooo fast and everything is super crowded together. There are vendors all over!
  • We are out of our comfort zone! Which is probably a good thing, to keep us dependent on Jesus!
  • This definitely has a mission trip feel. Our accommodations are bare bones but has the essentials!
  • we will write more tomorrow after we get some sleep!
  • We will meet Emma in just 17 hours!!!
  • God is good, all the time!
  • Love you all!!
