Say among the nations, "The LORD reigns."

Today I was supposed to head down to the DR to start my summer there. I was really excited, although quite nervous and a little sad this morning. Jake and my mom dropped me off at the GR airport and my first flight into Chicago went without a hitch. Unfortunately, my luck stopped there. I got on my plane (which was huge!) to head to Miami only to find out a half hour later that the plane had mechanical problems and they were going to try to find another plane for us. 10 minutes later our whole flight was cancelled. Thankfully in that time, I found another girl headed to the DR (thank goodness for our Orphanage Outreach shirts!) and we made a mad dash to the re-booking center where we ended up getting flights for tomorrow and the airline put us up in a hotel for the night. So most of today has actually been spent in Chicago and ended up being quite fun because a friend of hers lived nearby so she picked us up and we went out for dinner. Now I'm back at the hotel and getting ready to sleep because my flight out leaves at 6:15 AM for Miami and then I get into Santiago around 1:20 tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully I'll make it there this time! Thanks again for all of your prayers and support. Miss you all!
