The Flight's and all that
Alright so to begin our epic journey we all board the plane ontime. Kenny and I (Dane) did not get a chance to grab anything to eat and were rather hungry at the time. We then proceeded to spend at least an hour sitting in the plane. On the ground... We were having mechanical difficulties which set us back which would have ment we missed our toronto connection if it had not eben delayed until 3 something. This allowed Kenny and I and everyone else to grab a bite to eat before heading out to New York. Oh New York. We arrived under the impression that we would have a free/ prepaid ride to the hotel. Alas twas not to be. After paying to get to the Airport where we were told the hotel would be we had to catch a shuttle to the actual hotel which was free but took sometime. After finally arriving at the hotel we had trouble getting our rooms. Such trouble included us calling Rob just long enough to tell him we couldn't get our rooms before running out of change. Poor Rob. Anyways we tried a second time and this time we got our room. Rob called us at the hotel and told us we had two rooms. After ordering pizza we retired for the night. The next day we left New York and I forget where but at some point our flight was delayed causing us to miss our connecting flight from sao paulo to Curitiba. TAM air was really good about it though and paid for food a hotel room each and a taxi each. We were all very impressed. Due to the fact Clayton, Kenny and I had all slept most of the day away on the plane we were unable to sleep. Bad plan on our part so by the time we got to Curitiba we were all three exhausted. Of course what would our trip bit without some trouble at the end of the journey? We could not for the life of us figure out how to use the pay phone to get the Abel's to come pick us up. We finally emailed them and they picked us up at 11. So against all odds we are here alive and well and loving it down here. Oh and we're finally well rested and starting to adjust to the time diffrence. The food so far has been amazing. Please continue to pray for us as camp starts on Tuesday and that should be fun but tiering, so continue to keep us in your prayers. God Bless all. Ciao

Hi Team Brazil,
Sorry that you journey was a bit rugged. Glad that you are in Curitiba. I do not have e-mail at home, so on the weekend please send to Wanda if you have urgent requests wandam@cable-lynx.net.
Was Clayton able to find his passport? What does "and such" mean re other lost items??"
Everyone at Bardo says hi Erin. Lots of folks were asking about you at the dinner your family served after church.
Blessings! We're praying for you!
