Plane stretches

July 19, 2013
2:37am Creep out of bed, into the last warm shower for ten days.
3:43am Meet group with extra exuberance especially after hugging Angelika, my favorite German lady
7:13am Fall asleep on a parked plane that was suppose to leave at 6am, hence the extra early arrival for the international flight
12:06: Next flight out of Denver (no problem catching a new flight)
5:43: Eat Bourbon chicken and Diet soda with ice (both of which will be non-existent in Central America)
9:31pm(MST) Pass into El Salvador, my home away from home for an experience of fellowship, cultural encounters, and a transformation of my heart

Along with my brave husband and 7 other friends from Covenant UMC and Whitworth Presbyterian, I have come on this unique trip to visit Covenant's Sister Church and encounter El Salvador. The plane stretches worked out great- no cramps in my legs and easy connection in each airport. Despite the uncertainty of missing our first connection in Denver, things worked out in even better ways. I have a feeling this will be a theme for us. And so far, flexibility has been an abundant trait amongst us. God knows we'll have opportunities to practice flexibility some more.
