Where's My Lear Jet?

After spending most of Saturday driving to Portland, OR; and most of today driving back to Spokane, WA I've decided that I like flying more than driving.  Considering the cost of petrol, looks like about the same price. Couldn't find gas below $4 a gal. in Oregon; and they don't trust me to pump my own gas in OR.
So, I figure I need a Lear jet.  Just think about how much easier it would make for us to get back and forth from here to China.  However, there is one problem, I have no pilot license, so suppose I also need a pilot.
You can see some of the problems that M's face.

Reading The Rails

Proof again that Jane can ride the rails with the best of them.  Here she is on the mtr [subway] in Hong Kong reading a book on her i touch.  Most of the Hong Kong folks were doing the same thing.

Continuing the Newsletter story

So, as I was saying in the newsletter, we had a wonderful time of visiting/sharing/answering questions for almost 3 hours one afternoon.
The affiliation with the party kept coming up. That was a concern. We were asked 'Is it wrong to attend the party meetings?' All I've ever seen them do at those meeting is have someone in charge read a paper from Beijing while the 20-30 people in attendance drank their tea, read newspapers and visited with each other. No one paid attention. It was just something they had to do.
But the concern remained - How can I be a Christian and be a member of the communist party?
Well, The Lord in His great wisdom sent someone along within the week who was also a member of the party but alread had given their life to Jesus.  And then along came another and another.  Father God is an amazing God.
Now they have others to talk to who are walking the same road but have already given their lives into the hands of the Mighty God - King Jesus.
GREAT IS HIS FAITHFULNESS.
Please keep praying for our young friends to open their hearts to The King of All Kings.
Thanks.
Sure enjoy having you on the team.

Guo's healing

Guo Hong Leung really struggled with his first dose of chemo.  He started the 2nd round Wednesday. Please pray for him. They administer it over 5 days in the hospital. Last time he had a bed during the day but then had to leave so someone else could have the bed at night.
Please remember to pray for he and Susan and their son Paul.
Continue to believe with us for God's mighty healing power to touch Guo and totally heal in.

Graduating - Again?

Kali Jane graduating this Sunday
The Krauss family has already made their way to Oregon to visit family and be there to shout and cheer for Kali when she receives her degree from Willamette University in Salem, OR this Sunday
Jane and I will be driving down on Saturday. We'll do some connecting with HK/China friends along the way there and back.
Great day to cheer for Kali. She is graduating with a double major - Chinese and English.  I'm impressed.

This is Kali with her roommate from S. Korea.

Jet Lag Done - Get to Work

Yo,
Praise God, jet lag is mostly behind us to time to get back to work.
More posts will be appearing shortly. We have many updates to posts about our China trip that we felt best to wait until we got back to USA.

A Little Adjusting Taking Place

Walked out of the house in Hong Kong to be greeted by hot and humid 
Almost 24 hours later we walk out the Spokane airport to be greeted by cold by mostly sunny.
Our bodies are asking some serious questions of us.

There are times when I think just maybe that slow boat to China would be best after all.
We left the house in Hong Kong at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday and arrived Krauss Haus before 5 p.m. Tuesday.
That's some pretty fast travel.
It was 5:30 p.m. Monday Spokane time when we left the HK house and almost 5 p.m. Tuesday when we arrived at the Krauss Haus.  There is a 16 hour time difference. Talk about flipping your day upside down.
Good flights, good connections. Smooth ride except some medium size bumps about 2 hours out of Seoul. Thanks for your prayers.
Blessed by so many wonderful people in Hong Kong and Kunming.  Failed to make it to Shandong on this trip, which is a disappointment to me.
Father God always knows best.
Please pray for us to quickly leave jet lag behind.  Some of those 'experts' say it takes one day for every time zone before your body totally adjusts.  That's 16 time zones we're dealing with.

More news on the trip [that we thought best to not post while in China] will be arriving at this very spot within the next day or two.

Thanks again for joining us in this Great God Adventure.

Praise to the King of All Kings - Jesus
