Today I had planned on posting about our arrival in Ndola Zambia, but it was not to be. Today we are stranded in Johannesburg South Africa. Our plane from London was delayed 3 hours so when we landed in Johannesburg after 11 hours we had missed our connecting and final flight to Ndola. To boot, I got sick on the plane which hasnt happened in years. Even before you add in a team members lost luggage it was a pretty patience testing day. To rub a little salt in the wound, pretty sure we saw our missed flight taking off as we were landing.
The silver lining is I was able to witness our team display great perspective. Nobody lost their cool and we were calm in the face of adversity. This was not easy after we learned there were no more outbound planes to Ndola today. Hello 21 hour layover. We are now being told we "should" be able to get on the 6am flight tomorrow.
So we are spending the night in Johannesburg. Tired and weary but filled with strength in our hearts and courage for the days ahead. If you feel lead to pray, please ask God for his favor with our health and continued mental toughness. And we would really like to get to Ndola tomorrow so we can get to work!
Oh, and we did finally get that lost luggage. It came at a time when we desperately needed something to go right.
