We made it (He is faithful)

Thank you guys SO much for praying!!! I honestly believe that's the only reason we made it back to the States. Our flights were a complete mess coming back. Our first flight took off 45 minutes after it was supposed to, so by the time we got to Port Moresby (capitol city of PNG), they had already shut down the ticket counter for our flight to Australia. Thankfully, some of New Tribes Mission's government representatives met us at the airport, so they were able to push the workers to check us in. We raced through customs and security, and managed to make it on the flight just in time! We had a 13 hour layover in Brisbane, which was long, but we were thankfully able to get some sleep. But, during the middle of the night, they cancelled our flight to Sydney. Go figure? So we had to get up around 4am to get our airline to find us another flight. Thankfully, there was one leaving 30 minutes earlier than our original one was scheduled to leave, so we were able to get on that. We flew to Sydney in great timing. Hey, here's a fun fact for you, it's currently winter Australia, so it was 50 degrees when we stepped out of the airplane onto the tarmac. Oh, believe me, that was GREAT FUN after just coming from temperatures of 80-90 degrees! (the sarcasm light was flashing there...) Anyways, after nearly freezing to death while walking for thirty seconds over the tarmac, we found out that our flight to LA had been pushed back to a departure of 1:40pm instead of the original 9:45am due to some schedule changes with flights from the previous day. SO.... thankfully we didn't have any connecting flights in LA. We survived the 13 hour flight to LA fine, and now we're in California with my grandparents.

So, as you can see, we definitely needed the prayer! It was an incredible trip, and it was so cool just to see God work out all the details. I've seen so much more clearly how He cares about everything in my life. He is completely and utterly faithful!

Why do I ever doubt Him???

Never once did we ever walk alone

Never once did You leave us on our own

You are faithful

God, You are faithful
