We're off to Puebla and Ominous clouds/weather!





Well, we had a great flight to Houston and then to Puebla! Each flight was about 2 hours and 15 minutes.
But, when we landed in Puebla, there was a bad thunderstorm that started, with thunder/lightning, and heavy downpours of rain! And, we had to deplane outside in the dark!It was pretty chaotic! Everyone was given an umbrella.

Of course, we were the last ones off the plane, being I was the disabled one.

(Jane, this is for you!)
They gave me a choice to be carried in a wheelchair, or to walk down the steps.
I didn't know what to do, but they really wanted to get us off, so I said I would walk down. But, it was pouring rain, and the steps and railings were wet and slippery!
I managed to walk down hanging onto one railing! (The railings were too far apart for me to hang onto both of them!) Dave was right behind me hanging on to me.

When we got inside, Dave had to fill out the immigration forms and customs forms.
Then we were whisked to the next room where Dave had press "the button" to randomly get a green or red light. Of course, we get a red light! Which means they comb through all your bags to see what you have  or looking for anything suspicious.

Thankfully, we got the okay to go the next room, where Javier and his wife were waiting for us with a sign with our names and our pictures. It was about 30 minutes to our hotel. Ah...

Then, bad news. Dave started having severe kidney pain!! I gave him a hydrocodone and he took Renavive, which is supposed go help dissolve or break apart stones.
He got about  hour of sleep. I got a little more, and then at 5:30 am, he finally passed it!! Yay! He felt 100% better,but was exhausted! I spent most of the night praying for him! Thank you, Jesus!

We got off to a bumpy start, but, it's all good now! We were taken to our apartment by Javier and Paco. Its very nice! Tonight they will take us to Wal-Mart to buy food and anything else we may need.

They are all so nice and can't do enough for you! They will bring you anything you need!!

 The Ferris Wheel at night! Beautiful!!
Popocatepetl active volcano! We had a room with a gorgeous view!!


Please continue to pray:

  • My cold to improve!
  • Dave's kidney stone to get better!
  • Tomorrow's tests to go well! 
  • Strength for me tomorrow, Monday, as it will be a long day.
Thank you so much!!!
