After a nights sleep

Dear Friends,

Well, we made it safe and sound; all 12 pieces of luggage, 3 carry-ons 1 stroller, 1 car seat, 2 backpacks, 1 computer bag, 1 purse and 1 toy bag! Oh, and 3 Potters! The field chairman Bill and his wife Rosie were there to meet us at the airport and oh, was it good to see them waiting there. The last flight was mostly uneventful. Jack got a little sick but I think it’s the result of little sleep and changing 12 time zones, in 4 planes! Other than that, we had a good flight and had absolutely no problems at Immigration and Customs. I would even go so far as to say it was a breeze! Our totes and suitcases were shipped air freight yesterday to Salatiga and will be waiting there for us when we get there next Thursday. Oh, by the way, we are 12 hours ahead of CST, so when it’s bedtime here, you’re just waking up that morning wherever you are. So we have a few days to get our legs under us here in Jakarta (did you catch that? I said “here”, not “there”. Crazy!). Jack still has a fever and hasn’t kept his food down the last few meals, so we are going to have to take it slow with him and let him drink as much milk as he will. I am sure he’ll adjust soon, but please pray with us that he can feel better sooner than later. Sunday we fly to Manado, Sulawesi. We’ll be there till Thursday and then on to our new home! For those of you who are wondering where all these places are, I am going to attach a map with some locaters on it so you can get an idea of the places we’re talking about.

Also, for those of you who want more detail than these emails give, check out our blog site (web site) at http://www.danielael.blogspot.com/. We will be updating it as often as possible.

Thanks for praying! We are relying on God for the strength we need and are so confident He’ll supply!

All our love,

The Potters in Indonesia
