So we have had a very interesting trip so far. At this point in the trip we should be getting on an overnight train heading for Tambov, but instead we are at a Holiday Inn in New York. We got on our first plane for Moscow and they had a mechanical problem that they weren’t able to get the part for. So we got of the plane and the moved us to a different gate and loaded us on a plane way out in the middle of nowhere. After being on the plane for a few hours while they transferred luggage, food, water, and fuel they were ready to take off. We were fourth in line when they told us that they had another mechanical problem and we had to return to the terminal. When we returned to the terminal we were told that we would leave at 12:45 am and a half hour before we were to board they canceled the flight. After a long wait in line we were sent a hotel. We are now getting ready to go back to the airport and try again. Even with all the bumps we are doing well and our spirits are good. Please pray for our the rest of our flight and the rest of our trip (I hear that there is a big snow storm in Moscow). Hopefully when I blog again it will be from Moscow.

I do know on my mission trips, when the unexpected happens, we go with the flow, and say oh well. Maybe you are on your way now. and land safely. Love, to all
