Weather...

Hey friends,
Ben sent out this email today informing us that there is a good chance of beautiful weather while we are in Cambodia. So below is his email...

Tropical Depression aiming at Shanghai this morning is probably the best sort of news we could want for our trip. These storms are like flipping a coin in the sense that you can throw 13 tails in a row and while the probability of throwing 14 in a row is exceedingly small, the probability of throwing a 14th after having completed 13 is still 50%. What I’m saying is: one storm’s headed to China and once the cycle finishes (there’s a 5 day lead before it hits Shanghai), there’s usually a gap in time before the next cycle begins and when that new storm forms, it usually aims at a different target. This one’s weak sauce and shouldn’t influence our flights. And since it clears out of the area just before we arrive, we should have good weather for the duration of our trip.

Hi everyone, this is Julie's Mom. I just wanted to let everyone know that John & I are thinking of you and praying for you as your trip to Cambodia draws closer. It sounds like God has been preparing all of you. Now we ask Him to bless your journey, with safety, good health & good weather; that He draw you closer to Him during this time, closer to each other and closer to those whom you will be serving. We will continue to pray for ALL of you, as God uses you for His service. What a wonderful blessing indeed!
