We arrived on schedule last night at 8:35pm (Mountain Time). The only bump in our trip was that one of Shanel's small bag's didn't make it on the plane in Atlanta, but the airline knew already when we reported it and so they were already working on getting it to us.
Met our correspondant, Brian Wolfe, and some others who had two 15 passenger vans waiting for us. It was about a 30 minute ride to where we are staying. Beds were comfy, especially since it was 12:30 Michigan time by the time we got in them.
We had to be up and ready at 6:45am to head over for breakfast (a 5 block walk). This wasn't as bad as it sounds because of the 2 hour time difference. And there wasn't a long line for the showers since there is no hot water. : )
We're getting ready now to participate in a worship service which will include students who are studying here at the YWAM base and other staffers. Following that we'll have some orientation time and get to work!
Thanks for all of your prayers on our travel day. I really can't tell you how smooth it went. It was a great start to our trip. Please continue to pray for us as we serve here and as God shapes each of us through this experience.
More later...

Hi Everyone,
Praise God for your safe and uneventful day of travel yesterday. We want you all to know that we are praying for you continually as you serve there in San Jose.
Sorry to hear that there is no hot water! There will probably be more sponge baths taking place than full fledged showers this week!
A couple of verses to keep in the back of your mind as you deal with some of the inconveniences you will encounter (no hot water) are...
Philippians 4:11-12
Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
Philippians 4:19
And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
God bless you all, you are in our thoughts and prayers.
Hank and Tracy Williams
