Saturday, February 18

Bad weather played havoc with many of our travel schedules today. The large group from Nashville and the small group from Jackson, Mississippi, barely made the Guatemala connection. Two from Dallas missed the connection entirely because of weather delays. When time came to board our plane to Guatemala, there were only three team members present to board--out of 30! Before the door to the aircraft closed, however, all but two people had made it! What a relief! I thought I was going to have to do surgery, Kyle Hendrix administer the anesthesia, and Martha Oyston run the patient ward single-handedly! Our patients are glad that everyone showed up! Actually, the more amazing thing is that all their luggage except two pieces made the flight!! ........ Marie Agee
