A field trip around Atlanta

Yesterday went a little bit differently than we had expected. Our flight out of Memphis was delayed until sometime after 10:00 pm. We came to Atlanta and stayed the night in the Courtyard Marriott (wonderfully comfy beds!) It worked out well as a great day of rest for the whole team.

Transportation for our field day was provided by Lewis Academy of Excellence. Calvin's mom started a school here and we toured around the city in one of her school buses! We toured her school in the afternoon and located right in the front hallway was a great canvas painting with Colin and Savannah Lewis! They are the Lewis' two older children.

We are sitting in the Atlanta airport waiting for our international flight. I am so excited to travel! Hopefully we will be able to sleep on this overnight flight.

Getting to know each other in the Memphis Airport

So much for leaving at 5:10 pm. We are still here at the Memphis Airport because of thunderstorms in Atlanta. Every flight out of Atlanta is delayed so we won't miss our connecting flight to Rio.

It has already been a fun experience as we couldn't find the wireless card for the computer. Turns out some friends were at the airport waiting for another friend's arrival and they just happened to have a card with them! Being delayed turned out to be a blessing after all.

Service was great today and such a good sending off. Thanks for all your prayers this morning!

Still waiting for our flight. Patiently waiting. :)

21 hours and counting!

We are only hours away from departing Memphis International Airport! Destination: Atlanta. Well, final destination: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil!

Welcome to the Go Global: Brazil blog! Here you will find all kinds of information about our trip along with posts of our adventures! I’d love to invite everyone to stay in touch with us as we experience God’s work in Brazil.

It has been fun preparing for this trip and the time has finally come. God has called us to “Go…” and we are soon on our way. Our church is committed to serving God’s people in our city, our nation, and our world. Please keep us in your prayers during these next 10 days.

Feel free to comment and encourage the team as we keep you updated with our trip.

Adeus!
