We got to France without any problems, unfortunately once we got here the problems came at us from all directions, leaving us dumbfounded as to which way to go. We literally went the wrong way every time we had an opportunity. It is now 8:15 p.m. here (2:15) Ohio time and we are all someplace that we are supposed to be. Well almost, 4 of us got separated from the rest of the group and we never found our way to the church so we gave up and went back to the apartment. We have literally been carrying our heavy suitcases (up and down stairs on and off of trains and buses) for the past 8 0r 9 hours. We are soar and tired as some of us have been up for more than 36 hours straight at this point. We were supposed to do some touring today but the only touring we managed was 4 hours of walking around the airport and I don't know how many walking around the underbelly of France (via Le Metro). We are not writing this so that you can worry but so that you can know that we are o.k. Aside from being lost most of the day we are also having many phone problems. Unfortunately we are having trouble making and receiving calls. If you read this blog please start the phone chain and let the other families know that we are o.k. I will post some photos as soon as I get a chance tonight.

Please pray for us as we try to navigate the city the rest of this week. Also that we will be able to get the phones working properly.

Hi Leah, we love you and miss you! I think of you every time I look at my cast with your name on it, which is ALL the time! Love mom.
HI EVERYONE: I read about your day yesterday and I just prayed for you all. One bit of help: When lost (from someone who gets lost wherever she goes) stop and AS A GROUP START PRAISING GOD AND THANKING HIM THAT HE HAS ALLOWED THIS TO BE PART OF YOUR DAY! Really, He loves it when we are dependent on Him, and who knows, as people see you praying - you will be an example to them! (Relinquish your time to Him. If He wants you to spend your time lost instead of doing something else - thank Him for it). He will bring you peace in the frustrating time. Look for opportunities He may be presenting!
I will be praying for you here!
Great!!! Glad to hear that you all arrived safely. I was tempted to call your cell to see if everything was alright. sorry to hear about all the problems but I am sure that there will be enough fun times to over shadow the hassels. I will let everyone here know that you arrive ok. We will be praying for the team.
