Hey guys! thanks for the update and photos. Sounds like the trip is really going well. we miss you and are looking forward to seeing you when you come back to the states!

We are looking forward to meeting you all when you arrive at Peel Forest, New zealand.. Some dear folks have settled here from South Africa, they told us how dangerous it can be back in there country..you did well over there..

We then heard of all the unrest in Thialand and were just a wee bit concerned for you all..Sounds like no problems for you..Praise the Lord..

Now you are comeing to little old Kiwi Land and it's the drivers you have to look out for..The 1st intersection comeing out of Christchurch airport is a round about. We will be praying..The good news is Betty Sue and Doug wont be on the road, there back in Texas..Whoops they might read this... All our Love A & J

I guess you are packing up and leaving tomorrow. When do you arrive in NZ? How are the kids? We miss you all so much. The boys and families will arrive any moment. The Sioux Falls group had to escape a blizzard by leaving on Friday. Met up with friends along the way. Jon and crew are in Houston for the Hightower Christmas. They should arrive about the time Jason and crew gets here. Just miss you 4 so much. Let us know when you arrive in NZ. I pray for a safe flight for all of you. Everyone in NZ is looking forward to meeting you. I love and miss you, Mom

Hey Yall! Hope you guys have a safe and Merry Christmas! Keep blogging!
