We made our 5:30AM early morning departure from Minneapolis and actually were ahead of schedule by the time we landed in Atlanta. We made our way to the international terminal and it seemed that we would be in Guatemala City as scheduled. The pilot announced that the airport in Guatemala City had to close because of the Volcano Fuego (Fire) erupted and the wind had blown the volcanic ash onto the airport. The airport was hoping to reopen soon, but at the time of the announcement, the airline decided to cancel the flight and reschedule it for Monday morning at 9AM. The airport is expected and may already be reopened for flights to continue their normal operation.
We have to stay in a hotel tonight in Atlanta, but will be ready to begin service at the VBS tomorrow afternoon in Guatemala City. The Monday morning VBS will continue as planned and we look forward in engaging the children at the church. We hope to participate in the serving of the meal to the community on our arrival on Monday at the church as well. We are reminded that God is in control and this is all part of serving Him and our best made plans for ministry always can be subject to change. While we wait, the team is enjoying our time together and getting a little rest from our 3AM wake up call today.
Thanks for your continued prayer.
Dios Bendiga!
Terry
