It’s been a little while….

I know I haven’t written in a long time. I have been pretty busy working with the Auburn team in Jurema. But since I have a lot to catch up on, let me start by telling what happened with the team’s arrival….
They were scheduled to land in Recife on Sunday July 18th around 9 a.m. So Samuel, Lucenildo, Bill and I went to the airport on Sunday to meet them. We got there early, only to find out their flight had been delayed until 10:30. So we continued waiting. Then it was delayed until 11:00. We waited some more. Finally, we were informed of why the plane was late….when their plane landed in Salvador (a city in the Brazilian state of Bahia), the landing made a hole in the runway. Now I don’t know about you, but that sounds pretty sketchy. So after staying at the airport from 8:45 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., we found out that their plane actually wouldn’t arrive until the next day, and they had to spend the night in Salvador. Before you start feeling sorry for them, you should know that they stayed a beautiful RESORT in Salvador, and they were taken care of.
Thankfully, the plane did arrive on Monday and we loaded up and headed straight to Jurema (long drive). We dropped off luggage at the pousada in Panelas and then went to the construction site in Jurema. I have plenty more to write about the past week, but I’ll save that for either tomorrow or Monday!
