Ok, so travelling with 28 people can have its challenges but we were exceptional! Everyone arrived at the airport by 5:00 am, got through security inspection without any problems and before we realized it, we were off to Atlanta. We only had about 40 minutes to get to our connecting flight which was all the way at the opposite end of the airport and so it was a mad dash through the terminals…picture “The Amazing Race”. Fortunately we all got on the plane and were in our seats ready to take off…two hours later. It’s a long story but apparently a pilot in Guatemala City went missing and they had to find a replacement to bring our plane back to the US. Time for the “party plane” – we brought out snacks, cards, ipods, some mingling around the cabin…two hours went by pretty fast.
Thank you so much for praying for us. We have arrived here safe and sound, all the medical supplies made it (all 28 bags, each loaded with 50lbs of medical supplies, hygiene kits and craft supplies) without so much as a glance from the customs agents – which is wonderful considering there was a group that came before us that had all their supplies confiscated.)
There will be more to come…we’re off to the lake.

Our armed escort (no kidding) while we ate lunch at Burger King...yes, we're all about the authentic Guatemalan cuisine. :)
Praise the Lord! Getting through customs can be a scary but amazing place to see God's protective hand! I pray that the meds and kits will be used to help bring comfort to the people that receive them!
