Less than 3 weeks ago

Less than 3 weeks ago we were approved to start our assignment in Papua New Guinea.  Our partnership was at 95% and we were allowed to purchase airline tickets.  After much prayer we decided on a time. And that time is NOW. 
With our financial partnership complete at 100% we are departing to PNG.  Friday December 7th we left Midway Airport in Chicago and went to Los Angeles for the night.  We have the privilege of seeing our family (sister-in-law, nieces and a nephew) for a day.  Saturday at 8pm we head to Auckland New Zealand to arrive at their time of 6am Monday.  Next stop Cairns, Australia and then Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea where at 230pm we will take a small plane to Ukarumpa, our home for the next few years.   They have a place reserved for us to stay and a host family to help orientate us to the community.
A friend wanted to know where we would be according to Midwest time so they could pray for us.  If I figured it correctly this is the schedule. 

  Saturday December 8 Depart LA at 10pm 
  Arrive Sunday to Auckland at 11am 
  Depart Auckland at 1210Arrive Cairns 525pm 
 Depart Cairns 8pm 
  Arrive at Port Moresby 925pm
  Leave Port Moresby 1021pm
 Arrive at Ukarumpa ?

Thank you for the prayers.  My next blog will be from Papua New Guinea!!
