So we made it safe and sound! We left the MARK Centre at 4 am, and got to Toyota at 9 pm, which is 4 am pacific time or 6 am central time a day behind. We traveled around 29 hours over all. It was a long long day of traveling, but it was awesomely coordinated by our Father up above, that's for sure!
When we arrived at the Vancouver International Airport, we were told that our flight to San Francisco was canceled......not delayed, canceled! So we laughed about it and got in line to get a new flight out. We were kinda scared that we weren't going to get a flight early enough to get our Tokyo flight from San Francisco, because we only had a 2 hour lay-over in San Francisco. BUT, God having everything in His control, had a 7 am flight to Portland ready for us, and then we went from Portland to San Francisco at our original time.
We were a bit nervous of some things, but everything worked out. I'm telling ya, God definitely had everything under control! We even sang "God is on our side" while in the Vancouver airport, and that was definitely truth throughout the trip.
Our close to 11 hour flight from Portland to Tokyo/Narita, was kinda long but it was good. It was quite interesting getting from gate to gate in Narita, because most things are in Japanese, but then again, most things also have English on them as well. So it was fun.
On our flight from Narita to Nagoya, we were all really tired, and we all pretty much slept the whole flight. Laurence Hiebert (the head MBMSI missionary here in Japan) and a man from the church, were at the airport to greet us. As we were getting into the van, I almost got on the driver's side, because they drive on the other side. I'll tell you one thing, most of the stuff in Japan is really nice. I really enjoyed the 1 hour drive from the Nagoya airport, which is on a man-made island, to Toyota because we got to connect and talk to Laurence about quite a few things.
I'm so excited to be here! I'm really looking forward to jumping into the culture, ministry, and everything else about Japan.
Thank you for your prayers! They were definitely answered!
