I made it!

Hey everyone I made it to Philly, I wont be able to post this till later however because there is no wireless here.

I just wanted to let you know that I have begun my journey and am already being blessed.

Unfortunately planes don’t give away free blankets/pillows/etc anymore, but they do sell them! I got on the plane and heard that they were not going to be giving them out and almost cried because I was freezing and didn’t bring a sweatshirt. I asked if they had any for sale and they brought me a pack with a blanket/pillow/ear plugs/ eye mask. In the end they didn’t even make me pay for it and said it was on the house.

Although this is just a small act I was definitely blessed by it. It allowed me to sleep for the first leg (Cali to Philly) which greatly helped me!

I am just about to board my plane from Philly to Frankfurt and them from there to Basil, Switzerland where I will be picked up and driven to my new home.

Cheers!

After waiting 2 hours on the plane in Philly and freaking out about making my next flight, I was able to make it! God is good. So far all has gone well. I was able to sleep on the plane again (with a very sore back now from hunching over my tray) but nonetheless am very content. I was sitting next to a very nice older man (around my parents age) who had 3 adopted kids from Russia, one of which wanted to be a missionary! I had the chance to share with him about Biola and the ICS program there. He works for some nuclear plant company and travels frequently on business to Europe.

After rushing to get through the Frankfurt airport I am now sitting and waiting for my connecting flight to Basel where I will be picked up! Hope all goes well till then and my baggage gets there! (We have a dinner tonight with some guests and I would hate to look like this for it!)

Till later…

Now i've made it safe but gotta go to dinner!! :)
