Arrive Alive!!!
We did indeed. By bus....then plane...then a lot more bus...we are finally settled and off to sleep. It's almost 11PM here and most us have been up for well over 30 hours...the AC on the plane only cooled off 1st, business, and premium economy...our economy cabin stayed pretty warm. It made for a long night but otherwise the flight was uneventful. We breezed through customs after an initial scare - one of our front liners mentioned that he was traveling in a large group...the customs official then demanded the group leader so after cutting in front of several hundred people whose eye contact I avoided, he asked several questions, liked the answers, and then took over 80% of our team without any questions at all - Praise the Lord!! The airline did manage to lose Adrian's suitcase (even though they managed to deliver his guitar) so please pray for its swift delivery to him here in Cornwall. Tomorrow starts off pretty slow with the drivers going to collect the vehicles and the team having a bit of lie in...but once the clock strikes noon we'll be getting into gear. Blessings to all...your prayers are much appreciated...please pray for traveling mercies, good health, organization, patience...to name a few. Many pictures and updates to follow. Good night.
