We got up at 2:00 AM as planned, and while not everyone was chipper; :) everyone was anxious to get moving! After a fun bus ride filled with a fun VBS Medley (did I mention Mr. Steve is with us?) we made it to the airport in plenty of time, checked in, passed through security with few concerns, and headed to our terminal. As we arrived, in a herd, you could see it on the other passengers faces!!! OH NO!!!! We met a gentleman at check in that we knew would be with us all the way to San Fran! He was very cordial but you could see some reservation in his eyes! Well I have to say, we won him over very quickly!
As the flight attendants began their routine, and all 35 of us joined in with them (OK, not ALL of us, Pastor Nick is a party pooped!) Everyones mood seemed to lighten! It was early, but we were having fun! The same went for our second flight! The stewardess was so impressed she wanted to know where we were from so the Pilot could give us a shout out!
So far it wouldn't seem like we are on mission... we've been in an airport for goodness sake! But these students have been wonderful ambassadors for Christ! Beginning with the few students that got held up in security, blessing the security officer as they walked away, to the student that made a point as they walked off the plane to look the staff in the eyes, tell them thank you, and wish them a wonderful day!
These kids GET IT! We are still in the air (it is noon Eastern Time) and have about 2hrs to go until our feet touch down in San Fran, but they get it! All people need to see the love of Jesus, whether they are on the job "serving" us, or hanging out on the streets of San Francisco! This is going to be a GREAT trip!!!!
