Prayers Answered

Team Mongolia

God has answered our prayers and given our Team Mongolia safe travels as well as blessings as they arrive.  Please remember our ladies today in prayer.  Below is our first email from Sandy, one of the ladies on the team.

Hello friends,

We arrived safely in Seoul and were graciously greeted by the local World Vision Korea staff, including the country director Sam Park. We've had two good nights sleep and are starting to feel "normal" again.

Each year Korea celebrates World Vision Family Days, an event to honor the thousands of Koreans who sponsor children around the world. Last night we were in the second row for a televised program from a large stadium featuring many famous performing stars, donating their time and talent to put on a wonderful show. There was old film footage shown with World Vision founder Bob Pierce in his early days here in Korea. It is very special for us to be here with Bob's daughter Marilee and her family and enjoy how touching this is for them. Marilee and her husband and daughter were invited on stage last night to greet the audience. She did a great job.

Today we're off to church and some sightseeing. The weather is unseasonably warm -- which is very nice except that these Mongolia-bound travelers packed for much colder weather. But we're not complaining :)

Thanks for your thoughts and prayers. I wish you could all be here with us.

Love,
Sandy
