HELLO SINGAPORE.

Greetings from Singapore!

The past twenty-four hours have been quite the adventure. Our travels started with a send off from some of our closest friends. Thank you so much for coming! Then, my wonderful Resident Director from Engstrom Hall, Chelsea Wood, drove us to the LAX where we would begin the official travelling process. After checking our bags and getting through security, we waited at our gate where it finally hit me that we are going to Nepal!

But, getting to Nepal is a lengthy trip. We first flew to Tokyo which was an 11 hour flight. I have never been on a plane so big! I could watch tons of movies like Avatar and Shutter Island, play Nintendo, catch up on world news, or just chill. Needless to say, I spent most of my time reading and sleeping. Oh, AND eating. They fed us as if it were our last meal!

On the plane, I sat next to a nice, old Japanese lady. She explained to me how she didn't feel safe in the USA because her son's stove wouldn't turn off. I laughed inside and tried to talk with her as normally as possible! Once in Tokyo, we got off the plane and took another six hour flight to Singapore.

And that is where we are now! This airport is amazing. They have multiple Koi fish ponds, a butterfly garden, and shops galore. We have about 3 hours left until our final flight to Nepal. Now we play the waiting game. I'm anxious to get finally get to Nepal after months of preparation and I believe my team can second that notion.

Hopefully we can find a way to upload pictures/videos of our time in Nepal. Until then, prayers would be greatly appreciated! Some include:

1. ENERGY once we get to Nepal.
2. That God would use our team in ways that are currently unfathomable to us.
3. Safe travels to Nepal!

Thank you all so much for reading! We love you.
