Satan's attempts vs. God's plan

I wish I could say that the only issues we encountered ended with a determined Elizabeth on her way to NY.  However, Satan had other plans.  Upon arrival in Atlanta, we had planned to get to our hotel and rest up for the second leg of our journey on Tuesday.  As we exited the plane we waited for others with connecting flights to pass by and even get their gate-checked luggage.  We were the last to retrieve our luggage.  As Josh walked over to get the remaining green bag, he turned back and said those four horrifying words “It's not my bag.”  Indeed it was not.  Delta was somewhat useful in helping us track down the passenger who mistakenly took the bag.  After being sent to all corners of the airport we caught up with a sweet elderly lady who had mistakenly switched her carry on bag full of cake (we don’t know either) with Josh’s clothing for the week.  Needless to say we would not be getting the sleep we wanted.  But how dare Satan try to destroy our spirits by using a sweet old lady with cake.  God pulled us right through and with positive attitudes.  However, the next day he was at it again.  Delta was not allowing us to check Eric in.  They had mistakenly given a voucher to Elizabeth from Eric’s ticket instead of her own.  Our Delta agent was calm and relaxed and it helped tremendously.  Our Hopes and spirits were still high as the ticket was processed and we eventually boarded our flight.

            Upon arrival we grabbed a quick pancho sandwich for lunch.  Next stop was Mi Esperanza to learn about their ministry.  They assist mostly single moms who are in need of work.  They teach them trades like sewing, hair styling, and computer skills.  They also have a store for souvenirs full of products made by their students.

            After this we returned to the house.  The rest of the evening was spent recouping and sorting clothes in preparation of our clothing store later in the week.

Thanks for your prayers and support.  This mission wouldn’t be possible without an awesome God and an unshakable body of believers behind us every step of the way.
