All,
We safely arrived in Nanchang China this afternoon at 2pm local time (midnight central time) after 36 hours of traveling. All things considered, we are feeling decent, although the jet lag is starting to catch up with us. We are without our checked luggage (didn’t make the LA to China flight) & therefore no power converter so I am running on battery power only & trying to conserve as much as possible until our baggage arrives, hopefully tomorrow. More to that story which will have to wait.
We met Abram for the first time this afternoon around 5pm.
He did amazingly well with the transition, but is now struggling as it’s time for bed. We’re all ready for a good night’s sleep!
Thanks so much for the prayers! We can definitely feel them and continue to need them. We love you all!!!
Jeff, Chelby & Abram
All,
We slept extremely well last night – praise the Lord. Abram fell asleep at 9pm and we had to wake him up at 7am. We went to several appointments today which went well. Still no luggage though, but we probably won’t know until later this afternoon. Tina, our guide, is trying her best to get it to us as soon as possible, calling the airport frequently.
We’ll share more pictures once we have our luggage & power converter – still running off battery power which is getting slim.
Love,
Jeff, Chelby & Abram
