We Made It!

Just wanted to let everyone know that we've arrived safely.  All of our flights were on time and in some cases early.  We left Lynden yesterday at about 4:30am and almost 23hrs later we arrived in Glasgow.  We're all feeling a wee bit knackered and absolutely shattered because of our journey.

Some of us are staying with members of the Re: Hope staff, while others of us are staying at a bed and breakfast that is about a block and a half from the church.  After briefly settling in our rooms, we met for lunch and an orientation session which included an introduction to the staff, a tour of the church and projects to be done, as well as a Scottish etiquette lesson.  We also learned that this week they are celebrating the birthday of the great Scottish poet Robbie Burns.  He's kind of a big deal here!

After sizing up the projects, several of us began working for a couple of hours doing yard work and fixing some electrical issues.  Then we all met at the Libolt's flat for dinner and now we are all looking forward to getting a good nights sleep.

Thanks for your prayers!
