We got to the airport at 8 ish to check in for our 10 pm flight to Suriname tonight. We got all checked in and were walking away from the counter with our boarding passes when one of the assistants said, 'hey, it says board at 1:00 AM.' We went back to check and found that the flight was delayed at least until 2 this morning
NOT FUN!
Here is one of those 'kisses from heaven' that made things a little better. Our branch president, President Alleyne, who is also a taxi driver, took us to the airport. He always drops us off and drives home. This time, just as we were walking through the airport with sad faces, he walked up to us. We asked him why he parked his taxi and came back to check on us and he said he just wanted to. He has never done that before, but because he did we were able come back home and wait and (and maybe sleep a bit) so we will be somewhat human tomorrow for our work in Suriname.
I should have snapped a picture of President Alleyne but I forgot. However, we went to Sister Alleyne's 68th birthday party this week - so here is his wonderful wife plus Elders Packer and Barker organizing a fun game for the grandchildren.
