Well, I wasn't sure if I would make it into China or not but I'm here!

As much as I hated having to leave Vietnam and my good friend Ngu, it was time to move on to the next destination of this journey. But with a flight from Vietnam on the 19th of January along with a visa that clearly states "Arrive before 19 Jan" I really wasn't sure how this day would end up. Will I be allowed into China or will I end up staying here for a few more days?

It didn't take long as I was questioned at the check in counter; a supervisor was brought in and after some cross-checking of information he said, "no problem." Before I knew it I had my boarding passes and I'm headed on my way!

Arrived here and made it through Immigration with no issues. In fact, the officer checked my passport, visa...he stamped it and never spoke a word! I guess I'm not the serious threat to the State that some thought I was!

On my way to Chengdu and a three day visit with our ministry partners there. Looking forward to understanding this outreach effort which is happening in a tough place. Traveling alone in a country with a language I don't understand at all is exciting!

Thanks for your prayers and thanks to all the SCC saints for caring about the people of the world.
