Coshocton To Colorado

It was 6 degrees when we left the house this morning. No new snow, though a winter storm warning was in effect. We made it to the airport and through security with about 20 minutes to kill before we were scheduled to board. 5 minutes before scheduled departure our plane finally arrived with the winter storm literally on its tail. 30 minutes later we were on the plane watching the snow and ice build up on the wings. We taxied over into the de-icing area and spent another half hour there. We pulled up to the gate in Milwaukee just as our connecting flight should have been departing. Of course our arrival gate was as far from our departure gate as was physically possible.

We got a move-on and rounded the corner to our departure gate to find they'd already closed the jetway door...but they opened it and let the six of us connecting to Denver on-board. Wahoo! We made it, but our bag didn't. Lord willing it'll show up here at the hotel later this evening.

Both flights were good and the weather in Denver is GREAT! We haven't seen so much blue sky and sun in two months...and all the snow is up in the Rockies--where it should be, up in the mountains. There's fifteen inches of snow in Coshocton, but the ground here, for the most part, is clear of snow.

We'll meet with Jeremiah and Briana tomorrow. They're a young couple raising support to begin service with MMS. We're looking forward to re-connecting with them as it's been nearly a year since they were at MMS for candidate evaluation.

Everyone we've had contact with in the Denver/Longmont area so far has been absolutely helpful, totally polite, and genuinely committed to making sure we have everything we need.

Well, that's it for now. Lord willing we'll post again tomorrow.

Thanks Tim and Michele for watching the two missionary mutts!
