Bright and early our day began and we navigated LAX without a hitch, really these kids are awesome.
The RED team made it safely to Houston, the kids were super great on the flight and we were so proud of our Village kids! We waited in the airport for our connecting flight to Memphis, the plane was teeny tiny, but the kids were super and many of the crew members commented on our group traveling to the South.
Unfortunately, the BLUE team had some problems due to the American Airlines computer system going down and the FAA grounding all American flights. The kids were so patient and did a great job with the waiting and waiting. Finally, work came that they were in the air on their way to Memphis!
While the RED team waited we visited the Cotton Exchange...learned about cotton, growing cotton, and the importance of cotton to Memphis. We also visited the Rock & Soul museum, which was fun. I did envy listening to some Elvis and Johnny Cash! We were bummed not to have the BLUE group with us, but we were so thankful they arrived safely and in time for dinner!
Dinner was fabulous, truly an authentic Memphis BBQ...complete with chicken, pulled pork, ribs, beans, cole slaw, and sweet tea! It was delicious!
It was a full day and we are tired. Everyone is safe, healthy, and doing well.
Please continue to pray for us...we are enjoying our "march".
Until tomorrow....a river boat cruise awaits us.
