Hearing from Ben :)

To expand on what Ben wrote...

Ben flew "over the top of the world" as he put it. He first flew into Glasgow, Scotland and Germany and then as you read, into Kirghistan, a total of 24 hours!

He watched 9 movies and is very tired. He said that Scotland was so beautiful, you couldn't see anything from the airport, but a cathedral on top of a hill. He didn't say anything about the other two countries, he didn't really have a lot of time. Praise Jesus that his ears didn't bother him at all! As some of you know, when Ben flies, his ears hurt him really bad and his left side of his face goes numb. This only happens until the plane reaches altitude, then he's fine the rest of the flight. The DR. said it's because he has smaller than normal ear canals. The pressure builds up and causes the pain and numbness. He is probably in Afghanistan by now. He'll have a few classes that he'll have to take, one of them being a "welcome to Afghanistan" class telling them what to expect and such. Thank you again for your prayers!
