On Gods time line - US-Japan-South Korea-Philippines............

 Nard and Karl both tired but ready to go on last leg to MNL.

Dear Team,

        The Japanese security guard brought us to a place called - Meeting Place - but actually appropriate because we all came from different parts of the USA on our way to the Philippines! Most of us are from the Philippines and are all on standby because a family, friend or an employee of Delta gave us a buddy pass! We had an excellent one because my friend I call uncle G gave us the best! In fact we had the highest priority of all! However, any paying customer who bought his or her ticket has the highest priority and seniority no matter what! We were in fact sitting on business elite from Detroit to Narita! As I watched the big 747 - I thought this machine should never fly or let alone be filled with people! There has to be one or two seats open and my colleague Karl and I would be OK! That's what I thought, until the Lord had another plan. We don't always understand His plans, or reasons as to the why, but today we will be flying out to Manila with a confirmed ticket from Korean Air leaving at 1:55 Friday afternoon. We get to Manila Friday evening and then up north! We hope to be in Dibagat by Sunday March 18. In fact right now we are in Seoul, Korea waiting for the final leg of our adventures to Dibagat! The Lord has sustained us and we praise Him for the strength He is giving.

I heard our team of 8 might all have made it to Dibagat today probably except for their cargo. James did a great job getting everyone out of the guest house and check them all in at the airport and on to Tuguegarao. I will find out more when I get to Dibagat on Sunday. We have Saturday to get caught up with our sleep in Manila then fly up to Tuguegarao Sunday morning. Karl just told me we have been in the air and on the ground about 50 hours now since we left home! Both sleep deprived, but grateful to the grace of God and His love, and safety of course. Looking forward to seeing our team and the family up in  Dibagat! Thanks to you all for continuing to pray as the work started today and will go on until we get out of Dibagat, and the Isnags will continue on if we don't get done. Pray for stamina for each of our team members! Pray for our families left behind at home as well!

With gratitude to the Lord,

Nard for the team

Our last flight to Manila!
