100 Miles No Service.

"Hey Guys, we need to start praying. We're now on empty and there's no service for another 100 miles."  

I awoke to Ted speaking these lovely words, as our van heading to LA drove through the desolate Utah mountains.

And I actually thought he was kidding, so I leaned forward and looked for myself. Sure enough, we were on E. 

Our team began to pray, asking God to just fill us up until we reached a gas station. We traveled another 20 miles, and still were rolling. We all continued to lift our voices to God, asking for His favor. And sung a few songs of worship and then waited. 

Sure enough we ran into a sign that said a town was nearby. So we turned off and found a sign which read "Emery 25 miles". I'm glad and so thankful to say we made it to this little town in the middle of no where. I documented this so maybe i can post photos later.

All of this to say, we did make the drive to Los Angeles, California. 18 hours of off and on sleeping, fuzzy radio stations, catch phrase, games with students, laughter & occasional crankiness.  

We are now sitting in LAX & flying out in 2 hours for Tokyo, Japan. I believe our first flight to Japan is 15 hours, and from Japan we will fly to Bangkok, Thailand (!!) which is a 4-6 hour flight, I can't really remember. 

Also, we had to release two students, due to some guidelines being broken that we just recently became aware of. We are now a team of 13 instead of 15. Please pray for our team to really move forward strong. Also, I will be joining the group in a few dramas, and ted probably as well, because we are missing two people. Pray that we'll learn quickly!!!

We love you all, thanks for checking up on us, and for your prayers!!

Love, Jami
