Team Arrives:
email from Gina ---
Well we are all here in Brazil... safe and sound. We have several stories already that could be told, but it can all be summed with GOD IS GOOD!!
I give you a few detail from the trip thus far and then your kiddos can fill you in on more later:
So as you know we left at 11:30 yesterday and had a smooth trip down to Baltimore. There were lots of conversation and excitement filling the vans (can you believe that with this group??) :)
Chad got us checked in fairly smoothly (once their computer started to work). Then we went to our gate and sat and ate... and played games... and sat... then changed terminals and finally got on the plane and 5:30... and sat... and sat. Finally our plan flew into the air at 7:00 pm.
Our next flight was suppose to be leaving at 8:45, but by this time we were pretty sure we weren't going to make it so we were praying for delays in Atlanta also. As soon the plane lands, (5 minutes before our next flight is suppose to take off) the announcer says that not only had we landed at gate T05 (right next to our gate T04 for our next flight) but also, he says "there is a group of kids on the plane that will be getting off the flight first to make their connecting flight." What an answer to prayer!!!
Well now we are here in Fortaleza and beyond being tired, we are SUPER excited!! God is going to work in miraculous ways down here! (it's a plus that the weather is so beautiful :)
I'm sorry that this is so short, but we have things to do and places to go, but know that everyone is doing wonderful!
I will try to send out an e-mail about every other day.
Thanks for your prayers
Gina
