👍 Team Texasabetes - Monday, June 14th ❤
Today was a travel day!
One team member described it as an adventure.... I would have described it as a scene from the classic movie Vacation. This trip to Haiti has been an adventure in the making from the very beginning. June 2020 was our original travel plans and like the rest of the world, our 2020 plans were cancelled by the CoVid.
2021, our trip was back on but we had many hiccups along the way. Has anyone flown lately? We bought our tickets EARLY... wanted to get a good price! Turns out, early doesn't mean easy. After our flights changing what seemed like a million times... spending several hours of our lives we will never get back trying to fix those flights.... the day finally came to travel!
Some of our team left from Wichita Falls... others left from DFW. We had a very quick exchange when we landed in DFW. Spent only 20 minutes on ground and then were off again. Turns out our next layover would be worse. Diverted due to "weather"... our plan was delayed landing. The run was on! I didn't realize Jennifer could run so fast. Three of us made it to stop the plane from leaving while the others caught up. That was a scene!
Yay God - we made it!
It is good to be back in Haiti. Smells and sounds bring back memories for the ones returning. New ones are learning all about the lay of the land. The Haitian ladies had an awesome meal waiting on us. We have excitement on the team and can't wait to start serving tomorrow.
This evenings word of the day was a good one. Alot of insight and anticipation discussed... and as always ALOT of laughter with Team Texas!
