Just wanted to write a quick note to let you know we made it to Thailand safely!! It was definitely a long trip, especially with Miss Zara.....I think she was very confused why we were on the plane for so long!! She didn't sleep very much during the trip so we were in constant entertainment mode, which got tiring, but thankfully our team helped us out a bit and gave her a change of scenery!
Overall, things went very smoothly.....except for one major mishap....we realized last night at 4am that we had left our computer on the plane!!! a few moments of panic but we called the airlines right away this morning and they had found it and had it waiting for us.....Thank you Lord....
Our team did great during our travel and customs and immigration all went very smoothly. We had an orientation today and now we're just trying to stay awake until we can let ourselves go to bed. The time difference here is 15 hours ahead of Seattle.....
It is warm and sunny and it felt really neat waking up in a place that is so familiar to Zach and I and to be able to have Zara with us. Pray for her if you think of it, I can tell she is confused and a bit insecure. We are doing our best to reassure her and give her what she needs as she gets adjusted.
Thank you for your prayers and we will update as we can!

Glad to hear you made it. You've been in my thoughts (and now prayers!) I pray you (Amanda) find your place on the team and that you find balance and fullfillment in being mom, leader, and yourself!
It's been nice to have more down time but also still trying to come down without feeling "down". Weird, uh?
Keep us posteed!

I've been thinking about dear little Zara. Since Christian's just two months younger, I can only imagine what you guys are going through trying to help her adjust. I'm sure she'll get used to things. All she needs is lots of mommy and daddy reassurance and a few familiar things. I'm praying that she'll sleep well and that she'll stay safe in what I can only imagine would probably be an un-baby proofed environment. Glad to hear the computer was recovered. God is good!! Praying for you guys! - Judy C.
hey rupps. glad that you made it safely.
