Team departs

We returned home from taking the team to the airport. There was the usual controlled chaos of getting bags checked-in and some extra gear that was received after the packing meeting last week lead to some extra shuffling, but all the bags were checked in. We prayed with the team and they headed to the gate. The plane was delayed two hours, but it looks like that will just reduce their layover time in London.

Jessica broke here leg in soccer practice (the Africa team soccer practice) last Sunday. She did not have to get a cast on her leg so she was still able to go on the trip with crutches. Our friends at Free Wheelchair Mission were able to supply her with a wheel chair for the trip and we will be leaving the wheel chair with Bridges of Hope in South Africa for someone to have more permanently.

Expectations: If you are watching this blog during the trip, you should expect only one or two updates. The teams always have a crazy schedule that goes from 6am to 10pm. Getting the blog updated is usually left for when the team returns.
