I spoke with Amie this afternoon and they have arrived safely and are settled in Australia. She said the flight went better than she expected, as four of the kids slept well on the plane. Kate had a very difficult time due to an ear infection that was greatly exacerbated by the flight, and which made it physically impossible for her to get comfortable enough to sleep on the plane. She had a very rough time, and is exhausted from lack of sleep and feeling icky because of the ear. The other kids have battled extreme jet lag, and it is such a blessing that they will have this time in Australia to acclimate to the time difference before starting school in PNG. Krista has posted a few pics on her blog, and says that Australia is beautiful.
Please pray:
**for Kate's ear
**for the whole family's adjustment to the time change
**for the "details" that need to take place asap, such as getting their passports mailed back to the embassy so that their visas can be issued, etc.
Also, here is the URL to the website of the lodge where they are staying in Australia:

I don't see any pics or posts on Krista's blog. Is there another link?
