The team coming to serve at our organization's conference arrived yesterday!! Four of them arrived Thursday morning and the other three arrived late on Thursday night after several difficulties. Their luggage didn't arrive! :-( But we made the best of things and drug them all around the city.
We started with the first group showing them the city walls and a beautiful church with really well preserved mosaics.

The next day, once the whole group had arrived, we let them sleep in and then took them sightseeing.

We shopped it up at the Spice Market and then headed back to my house to begin making calls about the lost luggage. Finally, after midnight we found out that the luggage would be arriving in the middle of the night. We didn't trust the airport folks to deliver the bags before we had to fly out to the southern coast for the conference. So Josh and I got up at the crack of dawn and went to the airport to retrieve them ourselves. I was so nervous that the bags weren't really going to be there or there would be a glitch. PTL all six bags were there and they even let me claim them for Nate and Kate. Josh was so happy!
After we got the bags home we set to work getting things prepared and rearranging all the bags. There was a lot of work to be done before our afternoon flight!

How wonderful that all of these folks were willing to make the sacrifices for the benefit of the children. What a gift.
Such sweet friends to share their time with the children during the week. So glad their luggage was found. Love to all of you.
