Pit Stop... Japan

Well - we wish we were writing you from Minneapolis where we dreaded the 7 hour layover... We are still in Asia, but we have made it as far as Tokyo, Japan! The plane took off toward Minnesota, flew for 1 1/2 hours, dumped fuel for an hour (heard you needed that in Western NC), then flew 1 1/2 hours back to Japan. We had to actually go through immigration, gather all of our luggage again, and check into a hotel. We are hoping for a flight out Saturday.

Words cannot describe our disappointment and our desire to be home with our girls! Please pray for us!

Love ya,

So sorry to hear of your delay. You know a good thing is you are at least in a hotel -- not having to spend the night in the airport. We can always find something to praise God for. I know how disappointed you are, but know that God is in control and trust in Him to have you back in WNC according to His plan. Do know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Love ya, Cindi and family
