Hannah called today. It seems that everything did not go as smoothly as I thought with the trip down. One man on our team did not make the connecting flight in Miami. He took a different flight because he had frequent flyer miles. Once he booked another flight to San Paulo they checked his Visa and it turns out it wasn’t valid. (He was supposed to go on last years trip but had to cancel because his wife was expecting and started having complications. Therefore his five year visa had never been activated.) Fortunately, they discovered this BEFORE he flew to Brazil, so he just went home.
The next thing I did not hear yesterday was that much of the luggage was lost. It was not supposed to be a big deal…evidently it went to Rio…anyway they were supposed to get it today. When they went to pick it up only 2 of the bags made it and the airport said they do not know where the others ended up. It appears that they will not be getting their luggage at all. So today the majority of the group went shopping to buy clothes to wear. Both Hannah and Aaron have their bags and are sharing toiletries etc… I am not sure if the extra bags of clothes to give to the children were lost or not…I forgot to ask.
Also the bricks had not been delivered to the worksite because of the weather the last few days…it is the end of the rainy season. Hannah said that the men got most of the roof up anyway so that when the bricks arrive tomorrow they will have more workers to lay them. She said it is very hot and more humid than she has ever felt before, but at least it is cloudy. All of you prayer warriors please pray that the luggage will be found, and that the building will be able to be completed on time. She seems to think that this is the most mishaps they have ever had. I would have thought the air traffic controller strike last year during a heavy fog would have been pretty high on the list, but according to her this is the most frustrating. However, I know a God that is bigger than the loss of luggage and the delays of weather. It is a sure sign that they are supposed to be there if the enemy keeps trying to block it!
