We are here! We left Dulles at 8:30 and got to JFK at around 9:45. We then left on Thai airways for a 17 hour plane ride to Bangkok, Thailand. We thought we would be going past Europe and in that direction, but we actually flew right over the North Pole and into Thailand. We couldn't see the north pole because when we opened the shade the sun blinded us when it reflected off of the ice. We arrived in Bangkok around 4:00 pm our time which is about 5:00 am your time. We then got on a flight for Chiang Mai and got here at about 7:00 pm our time and 8:00 am your time. We thought customs would be a little difficult to go through, but we walked right through with problem and Daniel and Beverly were standing on the other side to greet and welcome us. We checked into Pangviman Place and went top dinner at "The Duke's." We really want to thank everyone who has prayed for us and supported us and we'd like to ask you to continue to pray for us as we begin our long two weeks of ministering to the Thai people here. We will give more updates, hopefully everyday. We have included some pictures of our traveling experience for you to enjoy. Thanks again and we'll see you all soon.
