First Campaign of 2018

We left very, very cold Kansas City at 9:00 a.m. yesterday morning; spent 5 plus hours at the airport in Houston and finally landed in Bogota around 10:45 p.m.

Unfortunately, the immigration lines were packed so it took two hours to get through--undoubtedly, the longest lines we've ever seen.  We arrived at our hotel at 1:30 a.m.  L o n g   d a y!

We plan to get rested up today and have a great week.  The teams (from California and Florida) will all be here by late afternoon.

On a personal note, Stephen's mom checked out of the skilled nursing facility yesterday, after a thirty-day stay.  We found a family member who is going to provide care during the week, but his dad will be alone on the weekends.  Please pray for his parents as they transition back home.

Just like that, WARMTH

Sorry that several of my posts have been so one dimensional (creature comforts) lately. I promise not to talk about being cold for months and months. Of course, that will be easy because we flew home to El Salvador yesterday! But, no promises not to talk about being hot! Just kidding.

Our rent is due on the 9^th of the month and we made the conscious decision not to pay January a month early, hoping that we would make it back to the city in time to get to the bank. It turned out to be the right decision; the bank wasn't even very busy—think I got in and out in less than 15 minutes. We also made a quick trip to the grocery store to stock up.

As always, it's great to be home. We only have today to put things back in order because our first campaign of the year starts on Saturday. Yep, back in the saddle again!
