We arrived in Edinburgh today, unfortunately there was no transportation arranged and our bags were nowhere to be found. We arranged for a bus to take us to Glasgow, where we sat and waited for over an hour in George Square. When someone finally came to pick us up to take us to the base, we were all a bit "done" with the traveling thing. (The only two people who really slept on the plane were Jeri and CJ:) We were rear-ended as we left the parking garage, much to CJ's chagrin (she wasn't in a carseat, since we had no bags). Anyway, no harm to anyone.
We arrived at the base at 1:15pm to a very excited group, ate lunch and immediately started planning out our week. Gary, Bev and Kim were speechless by the church's generosity and thoughtful giving. Kim will go to public school in the fall and she and Jana had a wonderful afternoon as Kim went through the clothes Jana brought to her and Kim planned how to spend the money she had received.
At 3:30pm, we all were briefed on the King's Kids Ministry and Amy, Corrie Jane, Brian and Chris went to lead the club for the 5-7 yr old's from 4-7pm. The kids responded very well to Amy's interactive Bible storytelling and Brian's unconditionally love. Chris organized and direct traffic, while CJ participated like one of the club members, offering her thoughts and suggestions to help other's focus and understand better. The director said that she had never seen some of the kid's sit through a lesson before!
We are all crashing now, it is 8pm. We will be up and working at 7am on the room renovations tomorrow.
Thank you for your prayer support, our flight last night was pretty miserable and there has been confusion at every turn until we arrived on the base.
Travis and Chris will be leading worship tomorrow evening and Amy and Brian will be taking another group back to the King's Kids Ministry to work with the 8-11yr olds.
Until tomorrow,
Amy

Please fill me in on the outcome of the bags. Is there anything we need to be doing from this location? We can certainly give a call to MCI or EWR to see what is going on! I actually created a blog called mommachapman so that I can immediately tell when you enter new information. How great is our God! Give all a hug for me. We will be praying for all as you minister tomorrow! Love, Mom
I love how much life is a metaphor for how Heaven is going to be. We struggle and have hardships trying to reach the place we are wanting to be, but oh the joy that comes after the struggle and we are where God planned for us to be!
Hope your night is extremely restful and your day is filled with joy!
