The adventure has begun! Here are the kidos and Daddy right before we loaded up to take him to the airport. We took Dustin to the airport at 3:45 today and found out that a huge storm was approaching Atlanta and thus thier flight was delayed and they were usure if they would be able to make thier connection to Ft. Lauderdale to meet the chartered plane that was scheduled to fly to Port au Prince on Saturday morning at 8:30am. They at first contemplated renting vehicles and driving straight to Ft. Lauderdale but soon realized that the 22 hour drive would not get them there in time. After praying, the team decided to try to get to Atlanta in hopes that they could catch the last flight out to Ft. Lauderdale. Finally, they boarded the plane in OKC and made their way to Atlanta! In Atlanta the last flight to Ft. Lauderdale was booked and thus they were put on standby and did not make the flight. 11:30pm in Atlanta. They decided to rent cars and try to drive to make the charter flight. They were able to push back the flight one hour to leave at 9:30am. The drive was 8.5 hours!! They would be driving all night in hopes to get to the airport just in time. 12:30 pm in Atlanta...they were on the road!!! They drove all night.....praise the Lord that they arrived safely and in time to meet the charter!!!!! On their way now to Port au Prince....Dustin said that he was really tired because he drove most of the way! What an adventure and it is only day ONE!!!! Thank you Lord for your protection over the team as they travel to serve those in Haiti!!
