After about 10 1/2 hours of flying we have finally arrived in Louisiana! But on the behalf of my group I must mentions a few "events" that made our travels oh so much more exciting. Our first flight went smoothly but as soon as we landed we were literally running around LAX trying to get to our next flight. We started off in terminal 1 - and had to get over to terminal 3 - in 30 minutes. Seems simple, but due to some complication we had to recheck-in all of our check-in's again. So imagine this 6 people plus 4 carts full of luggage running almost a mile, and to make a long story short, the departure was planned for 10:30 pm - we didn't get on the plane until about 11:15!All in all we got here safely and God just kept us aware and on our toes. I know He was watching over us and just wanted us to remember that we can trust in Him. GOD is good! As I am writing this my watch, which is still on Hawaii time says 3:22 pm. But everyone else here in getting ready for bed - which I can honestly say sounds absolutely wonderful!
We are all tired - we don't know what day it is, nor do we want to know. But the people here at Trinity Church are extremely welcoming and they've had many many groups pass through so they've got a great structured routine that is rather easily to follow.
We got to eat "gumbo" for lunch, i can't remember what was in it besides shrimp and good old pizza for dinner. We also attended a VBS meeting today and helped with decorations, set up the sanctuary for church tomorrow morning, took a trip to a Super Wal-Mart, and and ummm...I thinks that's it.
I thank you for your prayers, I know that God is faithful and will keep his promises. Please pray for continued strength and energy, the enemy will most definitely be attempting to find footholds to wreck our unity and harmony. A praise would be that we arrived safely and have met many new wonderful believers here who love God.
Thank you thank you thank you for you prayers, encouragement, and support! -h
