Clay Pots ~ the eagle has landed

We made it to Papua New Guinea after one of the most uneventful and smooth flights we have ever encountered. Thank you for your prayers! All our luggage was accounted for and we got through customs without even having to open a single bag! 36 sleepless hours later and we arrive to speaking a different language, eating totally different food, and living with a new standard of cleanliness. When we got off our last plane there were people screaming and whaling. One of the passengers on the plane was obviously coming back for a funeral of a relative and it is the way of the people here to show how sorry they are. We aren’t in Kansas anymore TotoJ.

We are at the mission base in town and Jason flew out with Micah this morning to go into the tribe. Monday morning I fly in with Sophia and Malachi. For the next 4 days I have different meetings in order to catch up with the newest tax laws, home school, computer set up for e-mails from the tribe, buy supplies, etc.

Thank you for all your love and support this past year. We were given an undeserved “heroes” farewell and we will cherish the memories forever.

His Clay Pots,
Jason, Kellie, Micah, Sophia, and Malachi Knapp

(we are now 15+ hours ahead of you – go to the website www.claypots.org to see exactly what time it is here)
