The Turkey Has Landed!

June 24, 2008

The tires of the big 767 hit, bounced and hit the runway once again. The voice came over the PA system, “Welcome to Buenos Aires. The time is approximately 9:15am and the temperature is currently -2 degrees, or 30 degrees Fahrenheit.”

OK, remind me again. Why am I doing this?

On my last flight to Buenos Aires I got some pretty good sleep. Most of the time I don’t quite as well. This time was more in the middle. I got my bags, tried to clean up a bit and caught the shuttle bus to the other airport across the city. I grabbed a bite to eat and then found out my next flight to Cordoba was delayed. So, I landed in Cordoba, got my bags (Including 60 pounds of Directions books), walked directly to Thomas’s car, drove to the CEC headquarters and walked into the room at 8:05pm where I was to begin teaching at 8:00. WIth good help I soon had the computer and PowerPoint set up and launched into full training mode for the next two hours.

It may have been good; it may not have been good. I’m not sure what all I said. I’ve always said I could teach discipleship in my sleep. Tonight, I got my chance! I’ll let you know how it went when someone tells me.

Seriously, I think it was fine. There is a great air of excitement among the young people. They WANT to make disciples and they want to do it right. I think I must be in Heaven!
Full day of meetings starting early tomorrow. I’m going to see if I can get a bit of sleep tonight. Pardon me, but I’m out of here. I’ll check in when I can.
