Tison finally arrived in Fairbanks. He wore a big smile and walked into the arrival area to about 25 people welcoming him to his new home. He was joined by Hendra, his escort and translator, for the over 30 hours of travel since Jakarta. He actually took three days to get from our medical base to Jakarta--so he has been traveling a long time.It has taken a mountain of work to get him to Fairbanks. I am amazed at how many good people we have in our community. There are many who have contributed to making this day and the next year a life changing experience a reality. Tison may not know at this time, what a offer has been given to him, but he will understand in time that this is a landmark year for him. I can't thank those involved enough for the acts of kindness to him.
Today we go to his primary doctor for his first examination and the road map for his future will become clearer. Keep him in your prayers.
