I don't know where to begin!
What a roller coaster of a trip over here! After waiting at the Turkish Air counter from 3:30 until 6:30, we finally got our boarding passes and luggage straightened out and were able to get on our flight.
Everything was pretty smooth until we landed and got our bags (thank you, Lord, that they all arrived!).
Out of the entirely sold-out flight, we were the only ones that were asked to open each and every bag before we could leave the airport. They demanded documents (which we didn't have) proving what our things were for (they didn't believe us that it was mostly personal and items for the village, until Mandi could get in and explain for us). At this point we were exhausted and just wanted to get to bed.
When we woke up this morning we discovered that Mom and Dad's fridge died and on top of every other insane number of tasks to do before the team's arrival, cleaning out the fridge was another task to add to the list.
On a lighter note, a black cat ran in front of the van last night and we all burst out laughing!!!
Thank you for keeping us in your prayers. Please remember the team from the Family Church arriving this evening (around 1:30PM EST). I hope they don't have to go through the same ordeal at customs (which we learned is rather customary for flights coming through Istanbul).

Yay! Thanks for the good news that you are finally there. I think the black cat is hilarious. Praying for strength and health the next few days.
