Crazy Flight Plans

Hi Everyone!
Presently we're running high on adrenalin as we prepare for our trip to China. And we'll need that extra cup of coffee to get through our 23 hour travel day. We depart on December 18 from Philadelphia at a reasonable hour to Detroit (2 hours flight time). Then we wait for 2 hours and fly to Tokyo (nearly 14 hours in the air) where we wait another 2 1/2 hours before our 4 1/2 hour flight to Beijing. Please pray that Samuel handles the journey well.

In addition to adopting Stephen Yu Fei, we will also be giving a large suitcase full of hats and scarves to the children of the Wenzhou orphange. Actually we will not be allowed to visit the orphanage in person but will donate the items to the director when we meet him or her with Yu Fei and a nanny in Hangzhou. What a blessing these articles of warm clothing will be to the boys and girls, especially at this time of year as most orphanages do not have adequate heat. Many of the children are bundled up indoors! May God grant a special blessing for all those who donated toward this worthy cause.
