Well, we have arrived here safe and sound in Costa Rica. We passed through customs at 11:30 pm CR time (That is 12:30 am central) and arrived at the AMCA guest house at 1:00am CR time. The flight was a bit delayed out of Atlanta due to TSA wanting to go through the bags. It might have been due in part to the fact that many of us had those black footlocker trunks that look the same.
The kids were real troopers throughout the journey. Poor Connor got motion sickness when we were landing, but he managed to use the bag this time instead of his clothing to catch his dinner. Customs was not too hard, and we were outside the airport, all 20 of us with over 75 bags in no time. Imagine our surprise when we saw a flatbed truck awaiting us to put our luggage on. As they dropped two pieces of our luggage off the top while stacking them up about 6 feet off the bed, I turned to Ken and said, "What were we thinking??!!??" Yes, sometimes you just have to be a little bit crazy to follow God's call in your life. Ken said, "It's just stuff." Connor, a little more concerned said, "I think we need to pray for the luggage!" Well, we arrived safe at the house and the bags did too.
Thank you everyone for all your prayers and encouraging emails. We really do feel that is what is sustaining us during those mule in the air moments!
