Traveling Mercies

We landed in Moscow this morning at 10:00 a.m. (midnight Poky time). We're safe, sound, and very sleepy. Although long, everyone agreed that the flight wasn't as difficult as we expected. God was very gracious and allowed us to get some sleep on board. Which is good because I think we're all going on about 5 hours of sleep over the past 48 hours.

The only problems we experienced were with our luggage. We spent two hours in Atlanta waiting in one line after another trying to track down Mike and Luke's bags. We found them eventually and Delta checked them into the system but apparently Mike's two bags didn't make it to Moscow with us anyhow. Please pray that they show up on tomorrow's flight because they hold some valuable items for camp (not to mention for Mike). If they don't show up tomorrow then we'll have to leave without them.

Team unity has been great and we've really enjoyed each other's company. Because we're so far away from home it seems to make the fellowship even sweeter with each other. I'd love to write more, but my bed is calling and it has a very loud voice right now.

p.s. The two pictures show our "bag ladies" waiting patiently in Atlanta and Amber, Katie, Nicole, Luke, and Mike posing on a bridge near our hotel in Moscow. What a photogenic crew!
