Day One: Travelling

We made it safely to Hosanna House!

We all met at the church at 1:30 am to finish last minute team packing and say a word of prayer before pulling out for the airport. The plan was to leave at 2:00, but we didn't make it out until about 2:30. Despite the delay, we still made it to Reagan National Airport in time to check our bags and go through security with a narrow margin before boarding our 6 o'clock flight to Miami. The flight went smoothly, all the first-time flyers did fine.

We landed in Miami around 8:20, and had a two-hour layover before our flight to Belize City. While waiting in the airport, several of the team members went on a hunt for food, something a little more substantial than the Pop-tarts and Tasty Cakes we had earlier.

As we landed in Belize city, we were greeted with a view of vibrant green palm trees, sand, and winding rivers. Once we disembarked, we had to go through immigration check-in and gather our checked bags to go through customs. We all made it through without a problem.

Miss Estellyn (the director) came to pick us up in the Hosanna House van with a trailer for the luggage. After we had loaded all the luggage into the trailer and rented anther van for the rest of the team members, we all drove to Cheers for lunch. After Cheers, we made our way down the Hummingbird Highway to Hosanna House.

By that time, I think we were all struggling to stay awake, but we still had to unload the food and make dinner. Finally, it was bedtime and we were all very ready for sleep.

So far today, we're just planning on trying to recover from traveling and hanging out with the girls at the house.


Prayer requests/praises:
Thank you Jesus for safe travelling with no incidents in security!
Pray for quick recovery for the team, it's rough with little to no sleep for twenty-four hours.
That we will be able to make a difference in these girls' lives, and that the new team members will warm up quickly to the girls, and vice versa.
