Greetings from Okinawa!!!

Well we made it here safe and sound! It was a long day of traveling. Paige did excellent on the plane and enjoyed watching a couple movies and coloring! We arrived in Tokyo in the early evening and had a crazy time in the airport going through customs and checking our baggage to get on our connecting flight to Okinawa. We ran....alot! :). When we arrived in Okinawa it was dark and very windy. Earlier in the day there was a threat of a typhoon but it turned and went another way so we just got alot of wind. After getting all 9 of our bags plus our 4 carry-ons, we were out the door to figure out where we were going! Luckily there was a shuttle for the Army so he gave is a ride to the Shogun Inn (which is our temporary lodging facility). We have a small apartment type room that is just perfect! The first night we were here we met Jason's sargent and his wife who are also believers! She is very involved in PWOC (Protestant Women of the Chapel) and I will be going with her on Tuesdays to Bible study for another Beth Moore study! Jason has started the 12 day process for inprocessing. He has had very early days and we are going to start touring around before he really starts work. The weather here is humid but nice. We have been out and about in a little area but look forward to more exploring! Thank you for all of your confined prayers as we settle in! More to come!!!

Saying See-ya-later

Tomorrow is the big day! We are leaving for Los Angeles in the morning with my parents and staying in a hotel for the night. Friday we fly out at 1 pm. We have an 11 hour flight to Tokyo and a 3 hour flight from Tokyo to Okinawa. It's going to be a long day of flying, but we are all very excited to get there. This week the movers came and got all of our stuff so we will be awaiting the arrival of our belongings in the next couple months! Saying goodbye is never easy, but we are so blessed to have wonderful family and friends that made these two weeks here very memorable! We are very thankful for all of the prayers for us as we make this big move! Next post will be from JAPAN!!! :)
