Back Home Again in Indiana

We arrived home on Thursday night, October 26. There were no problems with our flight out of Narita; however, the flight out of Chicago back to Indy was a different story. We originally were scheduled to fly out at 3:45 pm Chicago time. Thanks to a delay in retrieving our baggage from the international leg of the trip, we missed our scheduled flight back to Indy by about ten minutes. United put us on the next flight out, scheduled for a 4:55 pm departure. Unfortunately, bad weather kept us from even pulling away from the gate until around 7:45 pm. We arrived in Indy at 9:30 pm. Still, we did not pull into our driveway until close to 11:00 pm. Door to door, the entire trip took almost 20 hours.

Now that we're home we're working on adjusting to the difference in time. With the end of daylight savings time, Japan is now 14 hours ahead of the clock here in Indiana.

Our trip overall was blessed of God. We have returned home with a ton of information that will be helpful for going forward with our plans. We are grateful to all who prayed for us and supported us in so many ways. Now it's time to ask the Lord for "something greater" in Japan.
