Day 1
Team flew into Santiago Airport at 8:30PM
Heather and I spent the day at the pool with my student, Eddily, as we waited the arrival of our mission team. She warmed up to Heather very quickly as if they were long lost BFFs. :) She was so outgoing and silly! I love that kiddo. We had a late lunch, so we took leftovers with us for dinner, and grabbed a cab at 730PM. We non-stop chatted the whole way to the airport. I have treasured my time with Heather this weekend.
The second I saw Dana and Pastor Timm come out of the building, my heart jumped! I haven't seen Dana in so long and I just wanted to squeeeeeeeeze her! Pastor Timm and Pastor JJ always have the biggest smiles and giant hugs to share. Then the rest of the team flooded in. BIG hugs were given all around...the kind where you linger on each one because you miss the person, then before you release it is a tight squeeze. I think the words that would put those kinds of hugs into perspective would be: I freaking love and miss you! My favorite. I love these girls. They were all once in my Jesus Group.
Stephanie wasn't on the flight. I got word that she had to stay back because of health issues. I know she was so disappointed to not join us :( but there was no other alternative.
We got to our hotel and I had my own room. As ridiculous as it is, I was happy to have some alone time. I had a large bed, candy bars in a basket, and a fridge of beverages. This hotel room was filled with American goodies for us. Yessss! My A/C wasn't cold. Seriously? I live without A/C here, I should have the coldest A/C of the team this week!! I didnt ask to be moved because I figured the slightly cool air would do just fine because I wanted to be on the same floor as my girls.
Stayed up a little chatting with the girlies, then we hit the sack for our first day of work.
