Free Breakfast...With a Price

Unfortunately, our flight this morning was canceled, even more unfortunate- we didn't find out until we were at the airport this morning. We awoke at 3:45 to head town, and once our first group of people arrived at the airport we were greeted with the rude news of our flight cancellation. Fortunately, we all will be squeezed onto a flight at 2pm today and will arrive in LA at 4:30 (ish). Instead of moping around, we made the most of the opportunity. The students responded fantastically as we got vouchers for a free breakfast (that came with the price of being awake for roughly 21 hours by the end of this day), and returned to the hotel to partake in some team building exercises.







The guys trying to untangle a "Human Knot."







The girls working on the same thing-







The girls were a lot more successful.



The guys did have some success here though. They had to put themselves in Alphabetical order by last name without being able to talk or see each other:







The games are a little silly, but they force team cohesion and we get to see who steps up as leaders. We also "disabled" some leaders so they couldn't talk; forcing others to step up. We learned a lot about each other and I am excited to press onward. It has been a good morning. God has kept us upbeat and life is good. We will rest now until we head to LA this afternoon. Thank you Lord for your goodness in all things.
