Well, our flight did not leave at 1pm. This morning, Pastor Charlie got a notice from American Airlines to be at the Santiago airport at 10am, so we immediately checked out (I didn't really get breakfast:/) and grabbed a taxi. We were then told that the chances of us leaving Santiago today was slim, and we were given hotel vouchers, enough for two days. Spirits were relatively low as we headed downstairs to catch a bus to the hotel. We were delayed, however, and didn't leave the airport. While we were waiting, we were sharing little snippets of what God was telling us- Rhonda was told that we were in Santiago for our safety, Mom was told to pray for peace and patience, and Megan was told (while on the plane, just after we learned that we couldn't land in Montevideo) "not today, tomorrow". After a short amount of time, we learned that a flight was being planned and would leave in the afternoon.
We have stayed in the airport all day. Earlier, an announcement told us that we would be receiving more information about boarding at 5pm. When the time came, we were told that we would receive information in 30 more minutes. Currently, the plan is to leave at 8, but announcements are coming every two minutes or so. It's in God's hands, and our team isn't worried. "Not today, tomorrow."
I'm proud of our team. We have made it over 24 hours in a spanish speaking country without a translator. I am rather enjoying using the little bit of the language I learned this year in Spanish 1. I made a friend in the souvenir store :) Can't wait to get to Montevideo. Please continue to pray for our safety and for God's will to be done in our situation. Will blog when we receive more information or when we arrive in Uruguay! <3
