Day One in Vietnam mission trip

Day One, Tuesday 5th Dec
Well, today was one memorable experience!
It was truly beyond our imagination.
Firstly, our flight to Vietnam at 2:30pm was delayed to 6:45pm, because the plane in vietnam could not come over to Singapore, possibly caused by the uncertainty of the typhoon situation.

Pastor Yo then went to speak to the manager of Vietnam airlines and to our surprise, we were told of our new arrangement: Because the flight timings were not confirmed, we were going to take SINGAPORE AIRLINES and stop by HONG KONG airport for one night, where Vietnam airlines was available to take us to Vietnam the next morning. We were of course, shocked yet pleasantly surprised at the changes. some were squealing in excitement of going to HK.

It was quite taxing to move around the two terminals with all our luggages as we had to collect back our checked in baggage to be transferred to another plane, and then eat our dinner at the airport before boarding the plane at 7pm. We had to remind ourselves to stay positive and it was good training to be flexible and accomdative! There was also some problem regarding the number of seats available on SQ, but we thank God that his hand was upon us and we managed to all board the plane as one group and arrive safely at the Hong Kong Airport tonight!

Tomorrow morning we will be setting off to Vietnam at 9am via Vietnam airlines, so please continue to pray there will be no further delays =)

THANK YOU!
