You know when you look at your ticket and see a few hours in between flights you think you have plenty of time. We found out that we had just enough time to get to our next boarding gate and take care of what we needed to board the plane at each spot. In fact, when we met the Hortons they got there about the same time that we made it out of the maze of immigration, customs, cars, and people at the Manila Airport.
Here's a quick glance at our trip to get here!
At the Seattle Airport we took three airport shuttles (it's like a mini subway) to get to the international flights.
We landed in Japan after a 10 hour flight on July 4th.
We learned that we needed to go through another security check in Japan to take our flight to Manila and then we were on our way for about a 4 hour flight to Manila. Here's a quick picture that we could follow the whole way if we wanted to. Some of the guys decided that it was really discouraging to watch it the whole time so they only checked it once in a while. Finally we were almost in Manila.
Meanwhile, our friends were also making their way to Manila.

They picked us up at the ariport and took us to the NTM Guest House for our first night's stay.
Everyone's a bit tired. But they all have great attitudes and are just trying to adjust to all the new sites that we've seen today along with their bodies adjusting to the traveling and time difference.
Tomorrow (July 5) after breakfast we will go to Baguio. (Local time: about 5:30pm on July 4th)
Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” (Matthew 11:28-30 ESV)
So awesome:) We are glad to hear everyone arrived safely. Have been praying for you all.
