Hey everyone! So yesterday my family and I left for the Winnipeg airport at 7:30 am. My flight was scheduled to depart at 9:40. Once we got there, we saw that the flight had been cancelled, so my whole itenerary was changed. I then left only at 4:35 pm, and arrived in Minneapolis at supper time. It was really hard leaving you all. I was feeling really lonely and unsure of myself because of all the changes, but God has been doing amazing things. Right from the beginning. While waiting in the terminal in Winnipeg, a middle aged African business man walked by me, I felt God telling me something.. but didn't know what. When I boarded the plane, he ended up right beside me. He was born and lived in South Africa for 16 years. He now travels the world,and told me absolutely everything I could ever want to know about the airports, and so much about South Africa and what kinds of things to look forward to, and be aware of. He was so kind, and an amazing man. He gave me contact information to his family in Cape Town if I had any trouble when I got there. That I know, was not a coincidence. In Minneapolis my flight was supposed to depart at 9:40 pm, but then got delayed till 10:15. Once I boarded the plane, there was problems with the plane, so we only took off just before midnight. Currently I am sitting in the London Heathrow Airport. It is so huge, but I love it. I had to take a bus to get to my terminal, and had to walk just over an hour to get where I needed to be. God has been teaching me so much, and the trip hasn't even really started. Even now, a lady sat beside me in the terminal, and she works with Christian childrens camps all around the world,and knows people from YWAM in South Africa. Every step of the way, I have not been alone, God keeps sending me amazing people at the right times. Thanks so much again, for all your prayers and support. Love Caitlyn.
