Wow, what a day… The
team all started our mornings at around 2am and as you all most likely know, it
was snowing. Six inches or more... The plows had not gone by yet on our way to
the airport. There were some challenges here but we all made it on time and
safely. Thank you Tim Bodkin for driving the shuttle in this messy storm! Big
praise… As we were checking in with the Delta agent, they recognized our need
with our many second bags, bringing many needed items down with us. They waived
all eleven second bag fees. Yahoo… Awesome how God works in the details.
Next little bump was as we’re waiting on the plane, knowing
that we have a tight connection in Atlanta, they ended up deicing the snow
covered plane for nearly an hour. Finally off we went, trusting that we would make our
connection flight to Guatemala. Yes! we landed in Atlanta, raced to the tram,
up to our gate, grabbing a fast breakfast on the run and then boarded right on time. Another praise!
It was a bit of a turbulent/bumpy flight but a what a wonderful landing in warm Guatemala. Then, we were greeted by the many
friends we have here to take us up the 45 minute trip to the Oasis. Our team of
13 and 24 bags, what a pile. We saw many of the girls as we pulled in and had time for some soccer before dinner. Neil shared a great devotion after dinner
reflecting on, as Pastor Dave used to say, “look for those God sightings”,
Neil’s version, “And so it happens”.
Each day here may have 'God things happening...'
I’m sure we will not stay up too late
tonight as we only had a few hours of sleep last night. I’m heading there now.
Good night all….
