Students Arrive in Morocco

In case you missed it, this just in from Morocco
”I just got back from the airport with all of the students. Talk about a long trip for everybody.
Their flight, which shoul have arrived at 7:30 A.M. Tuesday morning, didn’t land until 6:00 P.M. last night. It took another 3 hours for them to get through immigrations and actually let me know that they made it. Their luggage didn’t make it so it took another hour and a half to report it and work it out to where they will send everything to us here in the next couple of days.
We were able to catch the last train leaving the airport, buy more tickets at the connecting train station, eat a quick meal, and then jump on the overnight train at 12:30 A.M. Seven and a half hours later we made it home.
Just as a side note, I haven’t been able to get online for a while. This is absolutely ridiculous, but, according to every single airline company and taxi driver I talked to over the last two days, there isn’t a single form of internet within 15 miles from the international airport! I tried everything that I could think of and still couldn’t get online if my life depended on it. Talk about frustrating!
I just got back from showing all of the students where they’ll be staying for the next six weeks. We meet for lunch in about an hour and a half when we’ll go over the schedule together.”
Pray that God will give these young people a life changing trip.
