A God-Given Detour

Well, our day has begun with an interesting twist.  We arrived this morning at Norfolk International Airport to find that our flight is cancelled due to weather.  That's right...CANCELLED!  I spent an hour talking to the attendant trying to find a way to Honduras.  The only solution was to split into 2 groups of 5.  The first group (Bethany, Josh, Chris, Terry, and Barbara) will be flying to Houston tonight and then arriving in Roatan tomorrow around 1pm.  The second group (George, Bonnie, Alex, Katie, and Cathy) will be flying to Miami and then arriving in Roatan tomorrow around 4pm.  George was able to score us two rooms in Houston and Miami to make the overnight trip a little smoother.
We see this twist as a God-given detour.  Remember, we are missionaries everywhere we go.  Please pray for us as we encounter many people on our adventure, that we might represent our God well and give Him all of the glory.

Thanks for your prayers,
Helene Team (We are working on a better team name, so please send us your ideas!)

P.S. Pictures are coming soon!

Houston, we have a problem...There are 5 people here who seem to think they are in Honduras!!!

We don't know the reasosn for your detour, but God does. Be encouraged and ready for any "Divine appointments" that God has for you guys in Miami or Houston. Remember your Church family at NHC is praying for all of you and your time together as a team and as missionaries from Nags Head!

At least they can say their detour to Houston and Miami was a God thing, Burnie.

Nice comment, If I didn't know better, I would think you were trying to start something, Rick!
