MISSION RELEASE and HOMECOMING

We were released from our mission 3 January 2013. We absolutely loved our mission, loved the people we met and the new friends we made. However...time to go home. Our Homecoming was great. Family and friends greeted us. We were tired and bleary-eyed, but loved seeing everyone.

We flew from Jakarta to Taipei, Taiwan, then to Los Angeles, then to Charlotte, and on to Huntington, WV. 22 hours flight time, 9 hours layovers.
