Hola!
We arrived in Guatemala City at about 1:00 AM. We had left church at 3:30 AM and drove to St. Louis in the church van. Thanks to Aaron Clark for driving the team to the airport. It made it much easier for unloading the bags that is for sure. Thanks again to everyone that donated supplies. We were able between the seven of us to get the donations to Groundwork Guatemala. Our first leg of the journey lead us flying into Atlanta, GA. There we had about a 2 and a half hour layover. Our next leg was to Mexico City. We arrived there around 3:30 PM and then this is where our "fun" began. We were tied up in long lines for immigration for two hours and consequently missed our flight to Guatemala City. Once through immigration we then had to rebook new flights, get boarding passes and check our luggage again. This all took an additional two hours. We finally flew out of Mexico City somewhere around 10:00 PM and then did not arrive at Guatemala City until 12 MN. I think all the team can say it was a very long day. We were glad to see Kevin, Ginny and Manuel who were waiting for us at the airport. Customs in Guatemala City was very expedient compared to Mexico City. Once at the Mission house we were all eager to call it a night and head off to bed. We will write about our Sunday later today or tomorrow.
