Some of us got a couple hours of sleep; others… stayed up till the 2:30am bus pick-up time with fun-filled fellowship! Upon pick-up, we made the 50-minute drive to the Santiago Airport!
Thinking that we had ample time before departure, we did not realize how busy the airport would be at 3:30am! It took over 90 minutes to get through security, inspection, immigration, etc…. if it weren’t for the flight being delayed we most likely would have missed our flight!
By God’s grace, we finally were able to get onto our flight!
At around 9:40am we landed at John F. Kennedy Airport, got through customs - and found our suitcases laid out waiting beside the baggage carousel. The Brooklyn team and Long Island team’s vans were ready for us upon departing the baggage carousel area - where many of us made it home all by around 12:00pm.
We give thanks and praise to God for safe arrivals! We give thanks and praise to God for accomplishing and completing the mission at hand!
Mission Reports will be prepared at our respective churches in the next couple of weeks. Mission Highlight Video will also be available soon.
Please keep the team in your prayers as they catch-up on some sleep ;) Please also keep our missionaries Kimberley & Carlos in your prayers!
Gloria a Dios!
