We’ve (mostly) made it to Guatemala! Our team met at SeaTac Airport in Seattle at
5am this morning…we made it into Guatemala City at 10pm (9pm PST). An hour later we arrived at our hotel in
Antigua and are settled for the night.
It was a long day of travel
and we’re exhausted.
Travel was not without its snags today…thus the “mostly”
qualifier at the beginning of this post.
One of our team members left their passport on the flight from Seattle
and we didn’t realize it until just before our departure from Houston to
Guatemala City. The youth and an adult
stayed behind in Houston in hopes of finding that passport and, if that was not
successful, returning to Seattle. Long
story short, God answers prayers! The
passport went from Houston to Miami and then back to Houston and it was still
in the seat back where it was left. Our
two missing team members will be joining us in Guatemala in the morning.
Thankfully, tomorrow is a bit of a rest day for us before we
begin our work with Safe Passage on Monday.
We’ll go to church in Antigua and spend some time making sure we are all
prepared for our classroom projects with students at Safe Passage. And we’ll rest.
Than you for your traveling prayers. We ask for your continued prayers as we
prepare for and begin our work with Safe Passage. Monday will be a hard day as we visit the
Guatemala City dump and are exposed to realities far different than our own.
Check back each evening for updates about what our team is
up to and ways you can pray for us. We promise to have pictures to go with words tomorrow!
