1 Tim 4:4-5 "Everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, for it is made holy by the word of God and Prayer.
Well we have finally arrived!
Our flight out was a long day but fairly uneventful. We left our home at 0430 on Friday and arrived at Bishkek around 0500 on Sunday morning, three sunrises later.
On our segment from Chicago to London, as we were seated about two rows from the very back, in the middle, with people close-in on either side, and no room to cross your legs in front, a man from the airlines came up to us, called us by name, and said good news and bad news: you cannot sit together but you have been moved to the front of the airplane. Well the front was United's International Business class, which amounts to a mini throne with your own 15'' television and reclining bed. A lady seated next to me volunteered to move when she realized I might spend the whole 8 hour flight repeatedly converting my chair from a bed to a recliner while watching highlights of NASCAR and exclaiming "did you see that?! did you see that?!". So, my bride and I were able to sit together and be country come to town together!
As a final note for today, I have to sign off, because our driver called shortly after we returned from breakfast here at the Hotel Dostuk. Although we were not expecting it, he offered to take us today to the orphanage. So we are getting ready to go now! We will keep you posted on how meeting our son went...

YAY! Glad to hear you made it (and got to sit together!). I wouldn't have been so nice and probably would have taken the recliner. *smile* Hope things go great at the orphanage. You all are in our prayers!!!
