Dear Family,
Well here it is, the end of the day with our mission ready to begin tomorrow. We have everyone here except 1 person. The major snow storm caused a lot of delays. It looked for a while like we would not get everyone here due to that storm. Two of the three flights were over 1 hour late in arriving. One of our campaigners is stuck in his hometown of Lexington, KY after his flight was canceled.
Today began with us taking a little extra time resting. After sleeping in for an extra 15 minutes, we began to get things finalized for the team arrival at the airport.
I spent some of the morning working on my notes for the team meeting tonight.
About 10:30 am we left for the airport. The first order of business was to gain entrance to the Customs area. It was a little tricky, but Jonathan and I both got badges that gave us the access we desired.
The first aircraft had only one of our team members in it. The other person was the one from Lexington.
We didn't get to the hotels until nearly 5:00 pm. That only gave us 1 1/2 hours before we had our meal and team meeting.
Both hotels are going the second mile to accommodate us. The Plaza Antigua cooked a meal for us tonight -- while it was ok, it wasn't anything to write home about (then why am I even mentioning it?!?!?)
We got everyone back to their hotel and a chance to get some shut eye.
God bless.
