MT Day 1: And We're Off

We go into this trip prayerfully and being lifted up by so many wonderful people.  We go into it knowing that flexibility is key. We expect things to change and we know the unknown is all a part of it. What we don't expect is that it will start here, on day 1, with a delayed flight. A delay that causes us to miss our connection which, in return, causes us to miss our flight to Kigali. The Kigali flight only flies on Tuesday and Thursday. A 2 hour delay caused 2 missed days on the ground in Rwanda.

So, here we are, in The Windy City, Chicago, overnight. We will fly to Brussels this evening and spend the night to catch the Thursday flight to Kigali. Plus side to all of this, team bonding, full bellies, comfy beds and hot showers for a couple of extra days. Bonus, there has got to be someone along the way to minister to, right!?!  And, we will be rested and ready to hit the ground running when we finally reach Rwanda!

To add to the excitement of missed connections and unexpecteded layovers, Brogan left the house wearing her crocs and not her tennis shoes as she had planned. Translation: she has no shoes for the trip. She already has blisters so we will be looking for a pair of shoes IMF the way over the next couple of days. While we won't have time here in Chicago, we will have a whole day in Brussels. Guess that means she is getting some European shoes!  Not in the budget but hey, flexibility, right!  She also took my hairbrush out of my bag to use it before we left the house and guess what?  Yes, we have no hairbrush. Somehow, one of those might be easier to find. Though the Houston airport didn't have any and the hotel only combs but hey, we are being flexible!  Gotta love my Miss B!

Well, that's all for day 1. I will do my best to keep up here but y'all know how that goes!  Love you all and keep lifting us up in prayer!
