From LA to KL

Hello everybody! This may be a little long, but it is recapping our travel thus far...to Malaysia.

Our first leg of the trip: The night started when I had to carry a bad of childrens ministry stuff to the check in. Seems simple but it felt like ti was full o bricks...ridiculous.

The enemy began attacking immediately. We found out when we got our tickets that nobody in our group was sitting together for 18 hrs!!!. Seriously, it was comical. We all kind of freaked out and I was like, "So it begins!" On the plane I was able to swing sitting next ot birge and Dave sloan...whew! The dude in front of me decided it would be a good idea to slam his seat back into me and I pretty much wanted to punch him. I slept for about 8 hours, watched In the Valley of Elah, and Martian Child. Ate some pan fried noodles and chicken for breakfast...it was a delight. That's malaysian airlines!

Kuala Lumpur: This place is so weird. Flying in I noticed fields of palm trees. Huge fields with hundreds, thousands of acres of nothing but palms. It was beautiful. There is something very uncomfortable about Malaysia. Ever seen "Return to Paradise"?? It is almost 100% Muslim and everywhere you go it looks abandoned. It's freaking hot and humid.
After our free bufet at the hotel, which had some nasty pickles and mayo balls, (we are about to leave. Just stopped in to shower and nap on our layover) Jon Gaw and I went walking to Giant. Its a big swap meet indoor kind of mall with a grocery store in it also. they freaking had a KFC in there!!! I didnt get anything bc I was full from the mayo balls and nasty pickles. Jon Got a 1hr foot massage for like 15 bucks. Anyways that's KL in a nutshell. Oh yeah, they also have Mickey D's and BK here too!

Off to India...right now literally! I am sure the next blog will be more exciting as we enter a thirder world country.

Please continue to pray for us. Travel has been a breeze thanks to you guys.

Sorry for the typos...in a hurry!

Peace!
