From Glenn & Becky Owens

My first thought is WOW! What a way to get your heart pumped! WE had a great flight over. It was a little bumpy for some of the flight, but it was ok. When we arrived at the airport we didn't see anyone we recognized, so we waited... and waited... and then began to think maybe we were forgotten. So I did what any good techie would do: I went to the "Telecom" room and paid a dollar for 30 minutes of internet service. We started our search for the Selfs' web site so we could see if we could call them. Sure enough in just a few short minutes after figuring out the different keys for the @ sign, we got to their web site. Praise the Lord their phone number was right there. So then I paid 25 Pesos to make the phone call. Well, an English speaking man answered the phone, so I figured I got the right number. He said his wife and one of the team members should be there, to just look around. So as soon as we left the Telecom room, we found them. From the airport we had a tour of the city. Really interesting to see the sites, being Sunday, the roads were pretty much empty, so the tour went pretty fast. Then we went to our first church but had just missed the service but got there in time for the meal. Again, WOW! It was really good. We went to another church for the evening service, and we joined the team in singing. The young men all seem to have a real servants' heart. It was the young men helping to serve at lunch and dinner, though we missed the dinner, and went to the Center early. We are excited to see what the Lord is doing in and through the team.

In His service,
Glenn and Becky
