Que dice!?

Wow, what an interesting couple of days! Our trip started out with a flight from ATL to Miami, then from Miami to Caracas (the capital of Venezuela). Once we get to Caracas, we go through customs with a breeze and go to pick up our luggage. Then we realize that our leader, Francisco has been detained. He is led over to us by a guard that tells us that because of his Colombian citizenship, he is required to have a visa that the rest of is are not required to have. He is expected to catch the next flight to the US. We are the shewed away and told that we must continue on our journey. With a little hesitation, some of the repeat travelers, Mallory and I, lead the group to our next stop, Aserca Airlines, for Barquisimeto.
LONG story short,the airline tells us that would not be flying because of bad weather at our destination. A little freaked out, we rush to find someone with a local number and that speaks English. After several hours, we get a shuttle to a hotel in Caracas and are picked up the following morning by volunteers from the church.
We finally arrive at Proyecto Jonas and are greeted by the boys. There are 13 on all, ranging from 8 yrs old to 19. We then go and have a meeting with Flor, the director... Where i am elected as the new leader... Don't ask me how that happened.

Monday:
This morning, we awake and start our say with devotional and group meeting. Wonderful breakfast, then Claudia and I showed the rest of the group around the farm. We the load up in the van and take the boys to a park to play futbol and beisbol. The day has been great and bonds have already been formed. I can't wait to see what else God has in store for us this week!
