Safe (though not uninteresting) Arrivals!
July 4, 2019
We are all safely arrived in Bratislava, Slovakia! Team members, luggage, good attitudes, and eye bags are all collected together here in the capital city (any photos from today will be taken at a distance!). We had a little adventure with a missed flight, a later flight, and wild midnight taxi ride, but mission trips aren’t mission trips without a few stories to tell.
It is almost 7:30am, and the team will be meeting for breakfast soon, after which we will spend the morning in orientation to Slovakia, the English Bible camps, and each other. Then we’ll spend a few hours walking around town and getting dinner before taking an early night in preparation for our travel to Vranov tomorrow.
More blog posts to come!
