Experience Haiti!

Thank you for your prayers and support of Katie and I's trip to Haiti!


Also, let me know what you all think of this video!
 I'm trying to play around with video blogging until I find the best way to do it!

God is SO good!

Alright, I am sitting here at Sacramento International Airport with Katie.  We board in twenty minutes!!  Even this trip has just begun, we already have a God-story to tell!

Check-in:

I was nervous about check-in all day.  I was concerned that the laptop bag would weigh too much or be too big.  I called American Airlines to make sure that it was the right size...and I misunderstood what they stayed(it was midterms week, after all)  We get to check-in and the first thing we realize is that the bag weighs eighty three pounds! (The limit is fifty)  Then we find out that it was twenty inches too big!  To check the bag as-is would cost $300!!

The best option, we were told, would be to buy a second bag and split the laptops up.  Luckily, we had a second bag!  Katie had brought her backpacking backpack, and had stuck it inside another bag so none of the straps would be ripped off.  We took it out, and started repacking.  My bag was also a little over fifty pounds, so we moved some stuff out of it.  We got all of our bags under fifty pounds! And since the too-big bag was now only half full, they let us check it.

Next was paying for all of the bags.  I was expecting for our two personal bags to be free, and then we would have to pay $70 total for the two extra bags.  Somehow, Katie's ticket was different then mine, and on her ticket she could check two bags for free!  So, in total, we payed $30 to check four bags!!

All I can say is this: God is good and God is in control!


I had a verse to post with this but ran out of time because we are boarding!!

Fourteen hours to go and God is good!

Katie and I leave for Haiti in about fourteen hours!!  

Praises:
