We missed our connection in Munich but this ended up being a blessing! The challenge…getting 15 people to Kiev on another flight. When we arrived at the Munich airport we had missed our connection by more than an hour. The Lufthansa service center tried to find another route for us via Austria, Milan, Paris, etc. Nothing. At one point we were “hopeful” we’d get on a flight to Kiev via Austria that would land at 11pm in Kiev. This would have us traveling some 30 plus hours. There was no room. So the agent suggested we fly out tomorrow at 1pm. She said if we were ok with that she’d put us up in a hotel and provide us with dinner and breakfast. Dan Lawrence (the trip leader) and I looked at each other with disbelief and relief. They’d pay for a hotel and meals for 15 of us? Amazing. We could get some rest before heading to Kiev? Awesome. So what was a marathon turning ultra-marathon day ended abruptly at a Sheraton hotel. We are so grateful! Students were wiped out last night but we managed to eat dinner together and debrief the day. I imagine we will be a new group in the morning.
Today we intend to finish our journey to Kiev and then onto our final destination of Vapnyarka, Ukraine. The adventure continues.

God is good! Arriving somewhat rested beats exhausted in any country of the world! Thanks for your leadership among the students.

I am not surprised that God gave you rest... This could be part of a 5 minute talk some time, :)
