Val's airport adventure

Well, most of the Nashville team hasn't even made it to the airport yet, but we've already hit a snag and have seen the Lord bless us through it.

Val Morozov was a late addition to our team, so we actually had him book his own travel. Val's originally from Belarus, so he speaks Russian and is a pretty savvy traveler from all the back and forth. He was scheduled to arrive only an hour or so after us in Kiev, though he was flying through London, not Amsterdam like the rest of the team. The tricky thing was that he booked his connecting ticket to Kiev separately, and had to switch airports in London (from Heathrow to Gatwick).

Well today he arrives at the airport to find that his connection through JFK had been cancelled. That's when he called and we sent out the call for prayers. The Lord answered.

They were having trouble finding any way to get him to London. Finally, the Delta guy told Val they couldn't get him to Heathrow. That's when Val suggested that they send him to Gatwick instead. No problem, he was rerouted through Atlanta.

Update 3:35 - Atlanta is still Atlanta. Val's flight out of Nashville sat on the Tarmac for an hour. Now we're not sure if he'll make his flight to London. Please pray for him! Though leaving later, he'll arrive at around the same time in London, exactly where he needs to be for his connecting flight to Kiev. No need to change airports or pay for bus fare. Praise the Lord.
