As we were packing and preparing Josh and I decided to run out and grab a quick bite to eat. We had given his set of keys to a friend who was watching our house. As we shut the door we realized we had grabbed only his set of keys and were locked out!! Suitcases, passports everything for our trip was locked in the house. It was about 5pm and we needed to head to the airport in about 3 hours. We frantically ran to the manager’s office, normally gone, and caught the maintenance man on his way out for the day. Praise God that we were able to get back into our apartment!
As we gathered at the airport we were sent off by all the family members of the rest of the team. Our team of 19 plus about another 18 family members we gathered with excited energy. The check in could not have gone smoother. As we visited one of the airport attendants took care of all of us in such an orderly fashion, with no standing in line. I guess that’s an advantage of leaving at 12pm! As the time arrived for us to head through we were immensely blessed as the families prayed over us and sent us off. I loved the bigger connection of all gathering together for God’s purposes. We felt the love of everyone else’s’ family as our team became a family for one week.
