What A Trip!

It was 6AM on Saturday, May 24th when we left the church building (Crossroads). The missions team was there to pray, encourage and give a devotion (thanks Dale). So, after loading the van we were off to the KC airport for a 1:24pm departure heading to Detroit. After a 2 hour layover in Detroit and a lunch we boarded our next flight heading to Amsterdam. The flight took eight hours and I slept for at least 6 of the 8 in the air. The 6 hours of rest really hit the spot. Once we landed in Amsterdam we only had 1 hour to board our next flight. So, we got off the flight from Detroit and our next gate was right across the concourse. This was handy since we only had around an hour to board our last flight heading to Kilimanjaro. Finally we boarded our last flight and right when we were about to take off. When a lady on the blacked out and we had to head back to our original gate. Hope the lady is doing better, but it delayed our flight around an hour and half. After a 8 hour flight and one and half hour delay we arrive in Kilimanjaro airport at 9:30PM.

Once we were done completing our visa’s we headed to the baggage claim to discover, we were missing two bags. Chuck and Jessica’s bags didn’t make it to the baggage claim.  They filled out the necessary paper work and we meet Steve and Marty on the other side of customs. After a great night’s sleep. Monday morning (today) we had orientation and toured the city of Arusha.

All in all the trip has been great! We will keep you posted on any updates written by the team.

Peace, Mike Campbell
