Dispatch from the Field: The Americans Have Landed!

Our Guatemala team has checked in on their trip blog HERE. Follow the link to read the full post but here's a sampling:

"Hello All!
We made it, safe and sound, and what an adventure we have had!  First of all, thank you to everyone for your prayers!  They were felt and greatly appreciated.
Everything has gone well so far.  The flight was smooth for the first hour, mainly due to the fact that we sat at the terminal waiting for some storms to clear the area.  No problem; we'll wait on that.  We took off at 7pm and landed in Guatemala City at 10pm (Texas time.)  Customs was a breeze, and at the end of it all was Brandon's kind smile and warm hug!  After loading up the vans, we did what every American would do; we went to a Burger King!!  Delicioso!  Oh, one huge God-thing that happened:  Brandon told us that because of the heavy rain that was going on that evening, all flights were being diverted to Nicaragua and Honduras, but for Some Reason our flight wasn't diverted."
