Dear Loved ones,

Carol and I flew out of SFO last night just past midnight. We arrived in Taipei 14 hours later. The weird thing is it’s 6:30 in the morning on the 2nd of January. We flew in the dark chasing the sun, and have arrived just before sunup. Since we crossed the International Date Line it’s no longer the 1st, but the 2nd. I think our new years day lasted for about 7 hours.

We had two meals, and 4 movies on the flight. I need a shave but we won’t be reunited with our bags until Bangkok…. about noon Bangkok time.

Thanks for your prayers. We would encourage you to pray for us often! Like when you brush your teeth!
While brushing your upper teeth, pray for our relationship to our Heavenly Father.
While brushing your lower teeth, pray for our relationships with those whom we meet, and work with.
While rinsing your mouth, pray that the words we speak would be sweet to the hearer. We desire to be led of the spirit to such a degree that the lost would see Jesus in us.

Blessings to you!
Fred and Carol
