Here's our team at the airport.

We almost didn't make our plane. There was some confusion with our tickets and Jack & Sammy Magruder had to drive as fast as they could to bring us tickets to O'Hare. I had total confidence because, after all, it was Samurai Jack who was bringing them to us - plus, every mission trip I've been on we have problems at the airport and God always makes a way for everything to work out. It's like He's saying - "Relax - trust me - I'm in control and you'll be okay".

Our flights were great, but very, very long. It takes about 24 hours total travel time to get to India - it's THAT far away. First we were on a plane from Chicago to Paris for 8 1/2 hours, then we got off got into security lines for a couple hours and then back on a plane for another 10 hours - UGH! But our flights were perfect - no problems at all.
