Safe Arrival in Beijing

We made it!!

We had two very good flights. We left Minneapolis on Wednesday morning, flew to Chicago, and had a direct flight from Chicago O'Hare to Beijing (13 hours and 13 minute flight). Andrew did amazingly well the entire way. The movie highlight of the trip was watching "Forever Strong." We all really enjoyed it.

As is usually the case, didn't get enough sleep on the plane and felt like we ate constantly. It is warm--low 80's. We thought that one piece of luggage had been lost, but Andrew found it. Now it is off to buy some bottled water, probably eat some more and then to bed--looking forward to that.

Thanks for the prayer support everyone. Ruth is feeling better than she has for weeks. Keep praying for her, especially that she would deal with the air quality here well.

We're all missing Kirsten already!!
