Everything New

We are a little on the slow side of posting the update about our travels to Indonesia, but here it is!!
First, a huge THANK YOU to every single one of you who prayed.  The flights could not have gone better, our kids were pros at traveling the whole way!  We really felt your prayers carrying us all the way across the ocean.  Soon we will post more about our settling in here in Salatiga, but for now, here is a snippet of our trip.
More to follow soon,
