We've Arrived!

We've Arrived - by Jesse

Thank you all for praying for us and following along with our trip through this blog! We left from SEA Wednesday at 6:40pm and all of our travel went smoothly. We are so grateful for that. We all got at least a little sleep on the 12 hour flight to Istanbul. We enjoyed fruit smoothies in the Istanbul airport and then boarded a short flight to Dubrovnik, Croatia! All our luggage made it just fine, including our instruments (I always get a little nervous traveling with my guitar!). We were greeted by friends at the airport and got checked into the hotel where we are staying and where the conference will be hosted. The buffet was still open so we sat down to eat a meal together before exploring the hotel a little bit and heading to bed. Sadly, the platter of shark was all gone from the buffet, so we didn’t get to try any of that.

Currently, as I write this it is 3 am, Wayne and I are rooming together and we are both wide awake and have been for the last hour and a half or so. That’s not so good, cause I think I only slept for 3 hours. But seeing how it’s 6 pm in Kelso, our bodies have some adjusting to do! You can pray that we adjust well. We have tomorrow to explore and get acclimated here before the conference starts on Saturday afternoon. It sounds like arrivals for the conference will trickle in all day tomorrow and Saturday. We are looking forward to seeing more of our friends and getting to meet new people that we came here to serve. We’ll keep you posted!
