The Eagle has Landed

Since we sat in Chicago for 3 hours, we missed our connecting flight to Tallin. So we hopped a flight to Copenhagen, Sweden where we hurried to the gate, then back to the ticketing counter, then back to the gate to get to the plane just before they closed the gate. Then besided not getting about half of our bags, everyone arrived in very good spirits...just happy to have landed in Estonia. We then drove 2 hours south to Tartu where we piled into the Vinalaas house for a yummy meal of lasagna, bread, salad, pie & ice cream. After a few quick calls home we are ready for some sleep to get adjusted to the 7 hour time difference.

Pic 2: Matt Hamer is haggling with the ticketing counter to get us all boarding passes from Copenhagen to Tartu.

Pic 3: The team stops to pray for Matt as he haggles with the ticketing counter to get us onto the flight from Copenhagen to Tartu.

Hey, what's up? Great to hear you got to Estonia okay, without TOO many mix-ups. I am so excited to hear about all the awesome things going on with you all. I will be praying for you guys all the time, and that the Lord would open up the hearts of those coming to English camp. Now, go get 'em!!

Thanks for the geography lesson. I hope I didn't offend my Danish readers.
