The most unusual trip...

We want to thank you for all your prayers. This has been such an...ummm...interesting trip so far. After we checked our bags early Saturday morning, we were informed by a driver of a tram car that our flight was cancelled. We waited in line for over an hour only to be told that the ONLY flight available was leaving on Sunday through Miami. We found hotels, used their shuttle and checked in. Some of us spent time wandering around Newark, buying something to sleep in and anything else we needed or napping. We each had an early bedtime, got up at 3AM and a hired van took us to the airport. We were assured that our luggage would be changed over to our new flight. We took off around 6:30 and landed in Miami. We had to go through security again and wait in 3 different lines. Landed in San Pedro Sula around 1:30 and then found out that only 1 suitcase out of 24 arrived. We headed to a store  and bought some clothes and undies. We enjoyed an incredible church service with our friends at Gracias a Dios. For me personally it was very moving to see kids and families that I hadn't seen in 3 years. The Holy Spirit was present and all of us felt refreshed and blessed. We headed to an eating place with some of the GAD families and enjoyed a meal and picture taking together.
This morning the men went to work at a school. The women and Rolando packed pills. We are hoping our luggage is arriving on an 11:30 flight. We will then have lunch, find our gifts for the orphanage and head there this afternoon. Tonight we will meet and we hope to feel caught up and possibly feel as if we are ahead of the game. Tomorrow we will start clinics and the men will continue work at the school.
Thank you again for your prayers. God is present and is working and even though it's been discouraging to miss a clinic and not have your own clothes, we know His presence and provision.
Terri for the team
