Mostly a travel day...

So, we said good-bye at the school entrance and headed out. We arrived at the airport safe and sound and got our luggage checked in... then we found lunch. A rather exciting ordeal, as it ate up our time even as we ate it... half of us made it past the passport check with twenty-five minutes until take-off. For some reason the checker-guy was not swayed by our teenage charm and was not happy with a member's lack of visa. Only half of us made it to the bus that would take us out to the plane. And as we found our seats we feverishly prayed that the others would show up. Miraculously they did. We all settled in for our first flight of the day. The plane started up, propellers whirred, light flicked on, then... it stalled. Much like a car does- our little plane just stalled. Eventually they fixed the issue and we taxied out in the rain. An hour and fifteen minutes later we arrived in Zagreb... with twenty-five minutes to make it to the gate boarding for our next flight... again, only part of us made it to the bus, miraculously we all were strapped in by take off. Another hour and fifteen minutes and we were all too glad to be on Macedonian soil. We found a cheery driver and a young lady named Emily waiting for us with a fifteen passenger van... good thing the seventeen of us like each other... We enjoyed touring or clambering over and old fort as the sun set before we headed out to find our hotel and dinner. With funny Macedonian toast in our bellies we're all ready to head to bed. Please pray that we will be rested and ready for all those we encounter tomorrow. Please continue to pray for our safety, health, unity, strength and boldness as we minister to the Roma children.
