Paul is Gathering Strength to Go the Distance.

Good Morning Everybody. I just talked to Paul, he and Gates had fun at the zoo. I have no details as skype wasn't working and we had to go over some paperwork details without the call costing us a whole week's pay. There is a nice couple from Michigan there at the JJSun with their new Son and Paul and Gates had breakfast with them then met with their guide at 9 am and went to the zoo. They came back to the room after and Gates napped while Paul began packing in preparation for their flight out of Lanzhou tomorrow (Friday afternoon there, Thursday night here). He was told that the domestic flight will be very crowded and that the plane will be very small. There is a refueling stop after two hours and it's a four hour flight. Hmmmm, the phrase 'puddle jumper' comes to mind.

I know you will ALL be praying them through this as well. Stay focused precious ones. Paul mentioned something like 104 hours in Guangzhou. He's on a countdown of his own and it's not by the day but by the hour. That's very Paul. Quarantine opportunity on reaching Guangzhou, we're believing for the best outcome and trusting that the Lord will be with us regardless.

The A.S.I.A. people will be with Paul in Guangzhou. The four other families who have been dispersed throughout China will now come together in a huddle along with exec. director of ASIA China and our fearless leader Fei Yang from Oregon. More english speaking and more food Paul's Irish palate can endure! Here comes the sun!
