Well....we're back in Barranquilla. Last time I was here was October and we had a team of about 70 people from all over the country. This time I'm here with team of 29 from Firewheel, half of which are students. We arrived safely around 5pm after a long day of waiting and walking through airports in Dallas, Miami, and Barranquilla.
The students are excited to be here and loved the bus ride from the airport to the Hotel Majestic where we will be staying this week. Riding through the streets of Barrnaquilla can be a thrill ride like none other. Lanes don't matter, horns are used constantly, while driving next to a Ford F150 there may be a donkey and cart on the othe side and a cow running down the road. All of them dodging the countless number of jaywalkers. CRAZY!!!!
We will be in church tomorrow morning with some of the pastors and nationals that we will be working with throughout the week. Then it's a little training and prep time tomorrow evening before hitting the field on Monday morning.
Everything today went very smooth and the kids are beat. Excited.....but beat. I don't think they'll have any problems going to sleep tonight.
I'm rooming with Tye Polk. That should provide some interesting updates as we move through the week.
We are going to have a great week and I am excited to see what God has planned for us here in Barranquilla. Lives will be changed forever.......ours inlcuded.
Moment of the Day:
I say to the students......don't try to use your phone unless you want to pay thousands of dollars in roamin' charges. To which Madi Polk replies...how much is that in american?
25 days till Cowboys v. Raiders...How bout them Cowboys?!
I'm out!
