Planes, planes, vans, palm trees, and sleep!
So we have made it to California! The day started early with our flights from Detroit. Things that typically cause some stress went off without a hitch today!
Bag check was maybe the smoothest we have had in years, they let us through the pre check section of security which meant to taking off our shoes or emptying our pockets!
Our first flight, during which a 5 year old told me i was cooler than his mom and dad and he wished i was part of his family, was to Baltimore. There we had time to get some lunch and just have a bit of down.
Next was a quick stop in Austin Texas and then onto LA! All 48 bags made it there with us and the vans were delivered as promised! We gathered our late flyers, picked up some pizza, ate, and then hit the road to san diego! We found Madi sleeping on the couch in the hotel waiting for us to check in! Hotel check in was a breeze, and most everyone is now fast asleep in preparation for a fun day of exploration tomorrow!
Overall it was a great day. Everyone was so so helpful, patient, and willing to help! God is definately watching over us! Continued prayers for those traveling Thursday and Friday, for us all to have some fun tomorrow and safety on our way to mexico! Also prayers for continued financial support as we are still a bit short. Thank you all!

Gooood morning San Diego!!
So happy to hear that all is going well! What a long day of travel yesterday was…hope you got a bit of rest. Although, we all know Dale, Les, and Matt were up at the break of dawn this morning. Did anyone go for a morning run??
Enjoy today, grow as a team, get to know one another better, and prepare tour heart and mind to focus on ministry as a team tomorrow. Don’t forget though, you are witnesses EVERYWHERE you go…airport, hotel, beach, In and Out Burger, and more. Pray for opportunities to tell others about our mission and the love God has for them today!
Also, don’t forget to tell your leadership team what a rocking awesome job they are doing! Give them a hug, say thanks, and say an extra prayer for them!
Love,
Amy

Thanks for keeping us updated on your progress. Enjoy your day in Cali!!! Rest, have fun, adjust to the time zone and the warmth, and DRINK WATER!!!! :) Most importantly, continue to prepare your hearts and minds for all that God has planned for you as you journey into Mexico.
