Update!

Haley arrived safely in Texas on Monday, and our conversations have been pretty limited. She just called me a few minutes ago from the Houston airport and was a little too unraveled to suit me in the two minutes we got to speak. Evidently her carry-on bag was too big, which contained a lot of her clothing, and somehow they shuffled a lot of her clothing into another bag. I'm not really sure of the details other than she did assure me that her stuff is on the plane, not setting in Texas, but she wants us to pray that it all makes it. She knows of one gal whose luggage was stolen on a trip, and she had nothing the whole time and had to borrow from anyone willing to loan her anything, and the thought of that is making her nervous. Please pray for not only her bags but the whole team's worth of bags to arrive safely in Africa on Friday!

She is flying out now (Wednesday, June 16) from Houston and will arrive in Paris nine hours later, which will be Thursday morning in Paris. Their layover appears to be longer than originally planned, so now they do get to leave the airport and see the Eiffel Tower, which is pretty cool. They'll leave Paris Thursday night and have a ten-hour flight to South Africa and will arrive there on Friday morning.

She's supposed to be able to call when she arrives in the different countries, so we'll be anxiously anticipating the phone call that will assure us that all her luggage is there with her! Thanks for your prayers!
