We arrived at COTP by 9am. Our flight left on time at 6:30am and was a wonderfully smooth flight--it was actually much smoother than our flight on the 757 yesterday from MSP to FLL. We landed in CAP and deplaned. When we walked into the airport Jamie was there waiting for us. It took us about 10-15 minutes to get through customs, we walked to the truck and road to COTP.
Our luggage did not come on our flight--it came on a cargo plane that was supposed to follow ours by a half hour to an hour. Nick, Jay T, Neil B, David V, and Jacob Z left to go back to the airport a couple hours ago to get our bags and head to the market for other supplies. They have yet to return, so hopefully all 33 bags arrived.
Zach Z. and Evan T spent some time with some babies, but since have been washing and repairing some playground equipment. The six ladies have been caring for babies, organizing toys, and now washing toys, folding diapers, etc.--all this and we've only been here 5 hours.
Our group is a bit tired after two early mornings in a row--today has already been a long day and its just mid afternoon.
Noah and Elijah are adjusting--Noah has been collecting eggs from the chickens, trying to catch a lizard, and Elijah has already been witness to a large "wall spider".
That's it for now, as I have been typing the truck returned and all 33 bags were retrieved from the airport! Now for another task of unpacking those supplies and getting them in the right places!
Oh, and by the way, it's overcast and humid, but definitely not unbearable at all.
Praise God! You are all in our prayers - may you bless and be blessed.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear that you are all there safely and also the 33 suitcases! I was praying for you all while weeding my garden this afternoon!
