"It's Amazing"

Yesterday was a long day for Mandi and the team. She made a couple stops and lay overs- Salt Lake City for 3 hours and then in Atlanta for a a couple hours. They met up with a couple people who were going with them in Atlanta. Claudia grew up in Argentina and lived in the Sunrise Children's Home until she was adopted when she was older by one of our Elders and his wife. She is bringing along a friend.

I talked briefly with Mandi just before she boarded the plane for Argentina. She sounded wonderful and was excited to take off.  This was her longest flight, about 11 hours. She left about 5:30 pm our time and arrived around 4:00 in the morning (8:00am Argentina time). Argentina is 4 hours ahead of us.

I texted her around 7:00 this morning and patiently waited until I finally got word back at 10:30. She says they arrived safely and everyone is doing great. Her words exactly -" It's amazing!"

The few lines of her text put my nerves at ease. I don't know if she slept on the plane or what they are doing today but she did say that when she has a chance to post on the blog at the hotel computer she will.

Please continue to pray for Mandi, the team, the children at Sunrise and for God's plan for this mission trip!


Thanks for your prayer support,

Kristin
