So the Mexico Team got off to a great start... well, up to Seattle. There they discovered that their flight was canceled and it seemed like there would be no more flights until the next evening and no help from the airline. So we prayed and I am sure Kristie did a little fighting for her team, and now they have meals and a place to stay, and will fly out early tomorrow morning. Maybe they just needed a little more time to rest and grow some memories together, and see what God can do with tough situations! Please keep praying for them! Here it is in Kristie's words:
"So we TRIED to get to Mexico today, but ...well... its a long story. But I guess I have time. We left Coquitlam at 5am this morning. Interstate driving was good. Border crossing went SEEMLESSLY! We had great chats all the way down. Got in early enough to grab Denny's and arrived at the airport with plenty of time to spare. Waited for our flight to come. Waited. Continued waiting. Just when we thought we were smooth sailing, the airline announced that due to mechanical difficulties our flight was cancelled. CANCELLED!! So we stood in line to re-book our flight for 2 hours and then stood in another line for about a 1/2 hour until the Lord had mercy (after much praying) and a kind lady rebooked us for a flight out tomorrow. And she booked us in at the Seattle Holiday Inn with free meal/Denny's vouchers... Woohoo!! When we went down to pick up our baggage (long after the carousel had stopped) we were greeted by our ticket agent, a friendly middle-aged man, who greeted us with a smile and waved us right over to where he was guarding it for us. What an angel! We are sad to miss a day in Juarez, especially since we won't be able to catch the Sunday service, but we are thankful that today we have a place to stay, good food in our bellies, and great friends to spend the day with. Hoping for a bit more smooth sailing... but have been blessed to see the Lord move in our midst."
