We made it!

This picture was taken on the last of our three planes. Aren't we a pretty sight? We had to sprint about a quarter of a mile through the Hong Kong airport. We were kind of confused about when we needed to be a the gate, and by the time we started walking, they were doing the final boarding call. Thankfully we made it and so did our luggage!!!

Raquel pulled this case through the airport and then spent the duration of our time in line for immigration lying on the floor like this.

She actually was exhausted, and fell right to sleep when we got in the car to go to the guest house (pictured below). Notice Joey the dog. He has already received much love from Raquel:)

All our baggage made it safely through and we shipped it to S right from the airport. We didn't have any problems in Immigration or customs. Praise the Lord and thank you for all your prayers.
Right now we are resting in the guest house that is run by Bill and Rosie Cork. The room we are staying in is air conditioned which is really nice since it's really hot here. We are all really tired, but are trying to stay up until 8 tonight so we don't sleep all day.
