Hello from Doha International Airport! We have all arrived safely to Qatar and are now awaiting our flight to Ahmedabad. We enjoyed a safe, restful flight as well as the excellent food and service of Qatar Airways. Our physicians got an earlier start than anticipated on their duties, as Craig, Michael and Ben treated an elderly passenger that was experiencing chest pain. However, they were able to stabilize her with Aspirin and Antacids...avoiding landing the plane in London! Thanks Ben, Michael and Craig! Craig had double the excitement as he had to also treat a young man that passed out while wearing "eight" layers of clothing. Maybe not eight...but he did have a lot on. Thank you again Craig! Also a big shout out of thanks to Lois for arranging our flight and layover at Doha. We were picked up in a limousine shuttle and are now enjoying refreshments at a private lounge.
We are so thankful to have made it thus far safely. Please continue to pray for safe travels to Ahmedabad and that we wouldn't have any trouble with customs. Pray that we continue to form as a team and that we would be lead by the Holy Spirit as we prepare to serve in India.

    To Steve: trying to figure out the prob. with face time, I was holding it when you tried to call and it made no sound or anything to let me know you were calling, I only saw that I missed it!:( Advice? Love you and praying that you make it thru customs without a prob.
