This morning (Saturday) we departed Oklahoma City on our way back towards our home in China. We had to get up at 5 a.m. after having gone to bed at around 2 a.m. Our flight left at 6:55 a.m.

Luckily for us, today's flight is only going to last about 5 hours altogether and only takes us as far as Portland, Oregon, where we will spend the next 3 days visiting my Uncle Stan and his family. Stan is my mom's older brother and is a retired missionary who spent numerous years in the Philippines and the islands of the South Pacific.

Our flight back to China actually leaves from Seattle on Tuesday afternoon. It will be nice to get home after nearly 2 months of travel!

Please pray for us that all of our flights would be uneventful, and that Gabriel would actually sleep some!
