On our way

We already have some crazy stories to share and we are not even there yet! First of all, on the way to Dallas last night, Casper and I got a flat tire...not to mention the tires on my car are just a few weeks old! But, fortunately we had the tire insurance on them and got it replaced with a new one for free, so that was definitely a blessing.

Then we took off safely from DFW and made it in to Washington, D.C. Unfortunately, our plane leaving D.C. had some complications. We all got on the plane, watched the safety video, and were on the runway when the pilot explained that there was some mechanical problems. We pulled back in to the terminal to get it checked out and ended up being stuck sitting on the plane with no air conditioning for two hours! No fun! Finally, they decided to let us off the plane and gave us all dinner vouchers to eat in the airport. After an hour, we all got back on the plane, watched the safety video again, got to the runway again, and..... the same thing happened. So, we all got off the plane again and got set up to stay in hotels for the night. The plan is to leave tomorrow morning (June 3rd) around 9 a.m.

Our team is doing our best to stay positive, but this situation is definitely frustrating since we are so excited to get there. We really want to pray for all of us to keep positive attitudes and to stay flexible no matter what happens. Things like this happen all the time, but we do not want to let Satan use these frustrating circumstances to destroy our team unity, focus, or passion.
