Mission Trip to Belize
Day 1: Got to the airport by 7:35am. It took us an hour to get checked in and to go through security. Our flight there was only about about 2.5 hrs (click here to download a brief video of us exiting the plane). Our flight attendants were rather rude though. The people in customs weren’t very friendly either. God must be trying to teach me something about dealing with the difficult types. Met up with our trip coordinators at the airport. Went to our hotel and got unpacked. Relaxed for a bit. Met up with the entire team and talked/prayed. Read more…
Mission Trip to the Philippines
Day 1: Got up at 5am. Hung out with the family for a bit before heading to the airport. Ended up leaving around 10:10am. It was raining REALLY hard. Got there a little after 11am. You have to be at the airport 3 hours in advance for International flights. Going through security, they confiscated my fruit cups and applesauce because it had liquid in it. I was surprised at how long it took us to get through security. I think they were training people today or something. Saw Eric working at the gate I went through. I know him because he also does security at the Rockets games. Our flight to Denver was delayed by about 90 minutes, so I spent that time bonding with the team. Finally got on the plane to Denver, and I really started diggin’ in this new Study Bible I just bought. I spent 3 and a half hours reading this Bible. IT WAS GREAT! Read more…
