Yep, we were at the wrong airport. Of course our ride (Katie's mom, God bless her for her patience) was already heading across the San Mateo bridge, and by the time she came back, picked us up, and shuttled us down the 101 to San Jose we missed our flight.
So one long travel day involving flying stand by, running across airports, giving of ultimatims (i.e. "you have two options, get us on that plane, or get our luggage off!"), shuttles that were MIA resulting in one long taxi ride, we ended up at our destination, MTI in Palmer lake Colorado.
I'm not sure if miracles count when you need them because of your own stupidity, but we saw quite a few that day and felt pretty blessed to make it here only a half hour late for supper. Cold spaghetti has never tasted so good! If we needed any more evidence that God is good, we only needed to step out of our room the next morning and be greeted by this.......
The teaching after day one has been incredible and the kids are adapting well. Cohen kept telling everybody from the stewardess's to the airplane pilots to the taxi driver where we were headed. "Umm sir, I have something to tell you. We are going to Colorado!"
I will update more in a few days..... See ya from Colorado!

Oh my goodness! What a stressful way to start your day of traveling! I've missed a flight on account of reading an itinerary wrong, too. No fun! Glad to hear you arrived safe and sound. I'm praying for you all!
Dave, et al.
Beautiful sunrise! I'm glad to see you all made it and are renewed. Keep posting on here, and let us know if you need anything. We're praying for you. Actually, when I heard you had missed your flight, I started ACTUALLY praying for you, so some good came of it! Tell Cohen that Nemo says hi.
Can I share your blog with many? Our prayers are with you as serve HIM.
Sounds like the first trip started really well! ; ) Hope it gets better. We are thinking about you guys and praying that you are able to soak up everything God has for you there! See you in a few weeks

Hey guys, just thinking about you as God is preparing you for the future. Hey anybody can arrive at the wrong airport but God uses our mistakes to show His ability to take cares of us as He promised!
