We're almost there...!

So..We are currently in Hong Kong! (My first time overseas!) We are here in the airport waiting..or should I say leisurely taking our time and awaiting our 8:30 flight tomorrow morning to our final destination..Cambodia!! It is just right around the corner!! It is about 11:30pm here and the date is June 18th. We lost quite a few hours and are somewhat delusional after the total flight of about 15 hours...we haven’t even made it to Cambodia yet! (and we didn’t get much sleep on the plane...)

But thank the Lord for His grace on us. We barely made it to our first flight to San Fran because of the traffic and such ("emergency road construction" is what cal trans called it) on the way. Me (Libbie), Alisa, Pakou and Jenna were all in one car-and were planning on meeting Katie and Cassie in the airport. Our flight was flying out at 2:00pm so we planned to meet at the airport a couple hours earlier to have plenty of time to get going. We were running a little late, and then were informed we had to check in at 1:00 in order to be able to get on our flight—it was 12:38 on the clock in the car as we were miles from the airport...Jenna’s talented, aggressive, pro-race car driver mom(Chris)-got us there about ten minutes till! She saved the day pretty much. I'm not gunna lie…I was a little stressed ….Jenna’s like "Libbie. its okay! Hold my hand!!" I ended up holding her pinky..and shes like "uhh…alright. you just keep squeezing that pinky!!" Needless to say-we made it on the plane. We are glad we are safe...and ready to spend the night here in Hong Kong—Im pretty sure ill never forget this night and the hours that have led up to this.

Random funny stories/things: 1. Jenna made us steal airplane plastic cups: (What? they throw them away anyways. :)
2. This airport has fun go cart /cars that beep and the people driving them have big smiles on their faces-and they will run you over.
3. When we arrived in the Hong Kong Airport, we were sitting down waiting for Cassie and Jenna. Me, Alisa, Katie and Pakou see 3 guys dressed in airport security uniforms…but not just any security uniforms...they had guns. We all sat there with our eyes wide open. And Pakou goes “Um..those guys are pretty intimidating. but they look like boys with toys.” We didn’t want to stare them in the eye...they kind of walked with a strut as well. It was funny because you can tell they really were intimidating the way people would avoid them. But we know we are protected.
On that note, we are going to get some sleep.
Pray for Health, strength, and provision.
Thank you all for your prayers. But our trip is just beginning….goodbye!
