We left Tuesday Sept 22 and after 25+ hours of flying time, plus 4 layovers, arrived in Nauru on Friday Sept 25. What a long, long trip! Although we arrived at just before 5 a.m., and it was quite dark, there were at least 20 Nauruan children sitting on bleachers just outside the fence by the runway, watching as the plane disembarked. All I could really make out was a lot of smiling faces. I guess since the plane only comes in once a week, this is a bit of entertainment for them.

  1. Glad to hear you arrived safely. Hope you have been able to get some rest and that Adam is being a hospitable host. On Wednesday night CBT prayed especially for the souls of Nauru, and God's protection for you. Love you!
