All your prayer warriors out there can pray for Hannah and Aaron this week.  They left for Brazil yesterday morning at 9:30.  When they arrived in Maimi they had to sit on the plane because there was a power outage at the airport.  They had a 6 hour layover in Miami.  At some point they found out that the air traffic controllers in Brazil went on strike.  They didn’t know if they could even get to Brazil.  After some delays they got word that their flight to San Paulo could go but there were no promises they would have their connecting flight when they got there.  They decided to risk it.  They got to San Paulo at 6:30 this morning but had to circle for extra times because of the fog.  When they landed it was past time for their connecting flight.  But as they were going through customs they found out that they had held the plane for our group…so they made their flight.  30 hours after they left here they finally arrived at their desination Ricefe, Brazil.  It has been an adventure already!  I am assuming since they got their flight that the strike is over.  We also found out today that their plane to San Paulo was the only one allowed in…all others were canceled. 

I figure that if there are so many forces at work against them getting there God must have something big planned for this trip.  I would appreciate your prayers for safety, as this chain of events hasn’t been exactly comforting to a mom separated from her children.  All anxiety aside I do, trust God has them in the palm of his hand.  Those that are leading this trip have done it many times and they are connected to many churches in Brazil.  I am confident that they will handle any bumps that come up along the way.  I will update you when I hear more, which should be later in the week.
