A Word from Mexico City...

Friday, Sept. 14^th 2007

Well, Joe and I got to the airport from Joe’s Dad! We arrived at 5:50am all ready and excited! For your first flight, getting our tickets, going through customs, and getting on the plane was a breeze! Praise the Lord! We arrived in Philadelphia without any difficulties. Our second flight, we assumed would board shortly after we got off our first plane, unfortunately it took of 1 hour later than it was supposed to. So, because our flight came in so late we almost missed our flight to Mexico City! But as I write we are in the air headed to Mexico City! Praise the Lord! Our airline… Aero Mexico is amazing! We were able to watch a movie and they gave us a complementary meal! Sandwich, salad, cake, & coffee! The flight was so relaxing. We arrived into Mexico City on time and tired. As we waited, and waited for our baggage to come… surprise, surprise… it was not there. Joe went and spoke to the baggage claim personal, they gave us a number to call later that night to see if our luggage came and they would then send it to the house we were staying at. Seeing our regional director and our team leader at the airport was so encouraging! We had to leave quickly because it could take up to 3 hours to get to the place we were staying! The Lord knew we were coming, because it only took us an hour and a half! Phone calls were made home, houses we looked at and we headed to our host family’s house… the Navarrettes. Which hopefully we will be working with someday! I was amazed at how nice the homes that our teammates lived in! The phone call was attempted to the airline but the number was not in service…shocking! Mr. Navarrete, Antonio was finally able to get through and, praise the Lord our luggage was at the airport. They said that they would bring it he next day! Finally we were able to head to bed.
