The team has made it here safe and secure. And........EXHAUSTED! They have now been up for about 21 hours and they are soooo tired! So, I am sure that tomorrow when the roosters crow (litterally) they will think they are dreaming. We are very thankful that they all arrived safely and that there were no problems.
Here are a few of their funny stories so far.
As you go through customs you always have to push a button to see if you are going to have your bags checked. Green light means you are home free. Red light means you have to let them go through all of your bags. So, Pastor Jamie, and Jim were home free. However, Rachel and her dad, Terry got the red light and had to have their bags checked. Now keep in mind they had put a lot of our things in their bags so they could use all of the 50 pounds wisely. So they open up his bag and he sees Velveeta cheese and candy and other things and says, " This isn't my bag." Praise God it was in English and they didn't understand him! They were sniffing the Velveeta and checking everything out very closely and he finally made it through and lucky for me, he got to keep my Velveeta!:o)
So they made it to eat some burritios with Greg and he told them that you usually cannot take the glass coke bottles with you. Jamie had already thrown his bottle away and so he started digging through the trash to get his bottle. Greg asked the waitress and she said it was fine to keep them. About that time Jamie came back to them and was cleaning off his bottle that he had retrieved from the garbage can. I am sure that made for a pretty picture!
They continued on their journey home and stopped at a gas station to use the restroom and while they were there Jamie went into the women's restroom, I think that should be told to the entire church for sure!!
Rachel and Jim haven't had any embarrassing moments yet! I will let you know when they do! We plan on having a semi relaxing Sunday so they can rest up for Monday! I will post pictures as soon as I can! Love you all! Missy
