We are leaving today

We made it safely to Halifax yesterday and met up with the folks from New Tusket. We all went to Swiss Chalet as a group for our last real meal till we at least get to Bolivia. We had a short meeting and passed out team t-shirts, so we can keep track of everyone, and had prayer. `We would like to thank the couple who felt lead by God to pay for our rooms last night, thank you the place was very nice. Well the day started very early, like can you say 3 am anyone. We made our flight no problem in Halifax and I find myself sitting in the Toronto airport waiting our flight to Panama that leaves in 45 minutes. Everyone took time to contact home one last time before leaving Canada.

We took the following photo before departing Halifax, and next stop is Panama and Sana Cruz Bolivia by 10:30 or so tonight Yarmouth Time.

So the highlight of our trip from Toronto to Panama was Ethan watching a screw work its way out of the wing of the plane.

The other two highlights were the three teenagers sleeping all but 50 minutes of the trip Toronto – Panama and learning that there is such a place as Central America (and not sure what they teach in school).

By the time we landed in Panama we were looking forward to a good stretch in the airport. We had about an hour and a half to get off the plane and find our other plane that takes us to Sana Cruz. Most of us went to the food court, where we found Quizzno’s, Domino’s Pizza, Hagan Daz, Cinnabon, and many others. We also found out that in an airport they really know they have got you, and the prices are astronomical. It felt like we were at the food court in Mic Mac Mall, except for the prices. Everyone is doing good on the trip so far, just a little tired. It has felt like we have been flying all day.... wait we have.

We are all looking forward to getting to Sana Cruz and our hotel for the night, The Hotel Alaska (kind of a funny name). We will be able to get some sleep before we then fly out Sunday morning to Cochabamba and meet up with our CBM partners. I do believe that Sunday will mostly be a day to catch up from our 15 + hours of traveling today. Keep us all in your prayers, for health, the work we will be completing and relations that will be developed with our STEP partners.


Well all this time we have been preparing to go, and it is here. For our family, church and friends you probably want to know this, 



We took a team photo at the airport this morning before we left, thanks Sheridan for making the T-Shirts on such short notice.
