Luggage

Still no luggage on Tuesday night.  Small possibility it could come in on Caribbean Airlines flight tonight or Delta flight in the morning.  Lots of difficulty getting straight answers from Delta.  I jokingly asked you to complain to them two days ago.  Its not a joke any more.  Please go to http://www.delta.com/emailus/servlet/EmailUs?cmd=go and let them know you are disappointed.  Here are things you can include in your complaint:

The flight was DL383 from JFK to GEO.  15 lost pieces of luggage.  Horrible customer service at baggage claim area in Georgetown.  No progress in finding luggage.  Our team is trying to put on a medical mission trip and needs supplies and clothes.  They allow Guyanese to pay overweight and extra baggage fees and deliver those while not delivering suitcases for rule abiding customers because the plane is full.  No file record numbers were given to us at baggage claim to track luggage processing.  Luggage processing doesn’t work anyways. 

These are a few things to get you started.  Feel free to add, remove, and edit them as you see fit.  Our morale remains high (see Jessie’s post below) but we really would like clean clothes and Polly wants her deet-free special order hypo-allergenic malaria preventing bug spray.

Oh, and pray too because God is infinitely more likely to get our luggage here than Delta.

Welcome Guyana Team

This year’s team is going to have alot of challenges and fun that other groups have not had before.  We are still going to be working with the Jacksonville Beach, FL team to put on a medical mission trip, but our host church this year is the Ann’s Grove Church of Christ.  This church hasn’t had a medical mission trip at their church in years.  Its a small congregation with a nice, although quaint, church building.  It looks like we will have the medical team inside of the building while Bible studies and the evening Crusade will take place outside in a tent.  Anyhow, be praying for the Ann’s Grove church and for out team as we are all preparing for our week together.

Our team this year includes: Kent and Leah Brown, Bill and Becky Day, Aaron Day, Kristin Brown, Eddie Skelton, Jessie Shover, Angie Wilson, Roland and Polly George, Frank and Vincent Wood, Josh Key and Alton Walker.

Hopefully we will all be able to report our experiences to you on this blog while we are working with Ann’s Grove next week so you can be praying for us here while we are doing the Lord’s work there.
