NCCM Team's EXTRA Day!

So Friday night Alex and I saw the NCCM team off at the airport at 10pm and went home and straight to bed. We were so exhausted after a long but rewarding week with the team and looking forward to sleeping in the next morning. At about 8am the next morning, Heather came to our door saying, "Alex, Holly, I need to speak with you guys urgently!" We wondered what could be so urgent, and we soon learned that the team had never left! Their flight was canceled due to a faulty plane part that had to be flown in from the US the next day! So the team was up all night long waiting in lines. American Airlines said the local hotels were full and only gave each person food vouchers (usable only at Papa John's at the airport!). Thankfully, American Airlines did pay for two vans to bring the team back to Pat's Place by about 10am where we offered them beds and a great meal before they were back off to the airport for a 2am flight Sunday morning. We know they have safely reached home now, praise the Lord! And although it was a hard journey for them (including the fact that AA lost ALL their luggage on their way to Peru at the beginning of the week), Alex, Heather & I were so glad to have them here for the day for fellowship and laughter one last time. They were the first missions team to stay on the 4th floor!
