Going Places

The adventure continues!  Since our flight was cancelled we had one of the United Airline workers feverishly scrambling to get our group home any way possible. It took him three hours to sort things out. We had given him a short list of those to try and get on flights first because of work or other commitments. Somewhere along the way that list went out the window! It's hard to explain how confusing it has been to keep straight where everyone is going. We are going to have our own mini version of The Amazing Race to see who gets home first.

 Several of the team had to remain in Tucson today to get flights to various locations tomorrow. The rest of us have already begun to get flights around the States!  It certainly isn't the way we planned to end our trip, but we are thankful that everyone should be able to make it home by tomorrow night. We know after all we have seen first hand in Mexico that our situation is really minor compared to other places and situations we could be stuck in!  We thank God for all He has blessed us with.

It is amazing all the cities that our team will go through to get home to Regina. Starting in Tucson and then including Phoenix, Denver, Salt Lake City, Atlanta, and Minneapolis. I think that is all but I could have missed somewhere.

I couldn't get this sent before Terrace and I had to leave for Salt Lake City. We have arrived in Utah now. Bev and Garry came this far with us but they will have to stay here for night and we will go on to Minneapolis at 5:15pm.  Crystelle and Jaelyn stayed in Tucson today and will try to leave again tomorrow via Denver. Praying that works better tomorrow than it did today. They are likely enjoying some time at the mall today.

Keep praying for safety and no further delays for everyone on their way back.

God bless,

Dwight

  1. Praying that you all will make it home as soon as possible and safely!! Is there a prize for the first to arrive in Regina?

  2. Yeah the prize is freezing. I think the real winners will be whoever gets in last. We are getting a taste of the 'prize' here in Minneapolis and I don't like it!
