Brogan had my phone on the plane from Chicago to Brussels and the above picture was the result. She and Ashton just had to sit by each other for the 9 hour flight. They are great buds and I hope this trip will bring them even closer.
The above empty turnstile was what we got when we arrived in Brussels at 9:00 am. None of our 20 bags made it out. After some inquiring, and a few hours, 3 bags were in our hands. From 3:30-7:30 pm we waited for the other 17 bags to be found and into our hands. We now have all 20 bags! Praise The Lord!
Most of our team is running on very little sleep. When I say "very" I mean about 2-3 hours over the last 2 days. United had paid for us a night at the Sheraton by the airport and given us meals. Our bellies are full and we should get a hot shower and a good night sleep. Hopefully the much needed rest will happen so that we can be ready to go when we get to Kigali tomorrow night.
Ways you can pray:
~ Baggage restrictions are different here in Brussels than in the US. We had to collect our bags, each weighing 45-50 pounds. The weight limit is 10 pounds less here (40 pounds). Please pray that they do not charge us overweight limit fees.
~ Pray that the 2 extra bags I paid excess baggage fees for are not charged again.
~ Pray tomorrow's flight is on time and safely arrives in Kigali. (This is the only flight from here to Kigali until next Tuesday)
~ Praise for the United folks, hotel employees, baggage people and everyone else that had helped us along the way. They have all been very gracious and helped us out tremendously.
~ Begin to pray for our work that we will be doing. The Women's conference will be cut short due to our delay. Pray that we are flexible with the results of how things happen schedule wise once we are on the ground.
Thanks for lifting us up! Keep the prayers coming. They are working!
