In the Air…

Thank you for all of your prayers for travel mercies! We made it to SFO in record time and had no troubles getting onto our flight with our ten heavy boxes and over stuffed carry-ons. We had an opportunity to share about our mission trip with many folks waiting in-line with us at the airport (we looked pretty conspicuous standing in line with boxes labeled “Sankey Orphanage” piled sky high on our carts!)

Our medical portion of the mission began a bit sooner than planned- starting with a call from the flight attendants asking for help from any medical professionals onboard the flight. To the attendants’ relief, Jeff ended up tending to 5 patients on the trans-Pacific flight. He didn’t get much sleep, but he was able to provide great care for some hurting people.

The team also made it through the 14+ hour flight without too much discomfort and even a bit of sleep for most of the team members. We did have a few hours added to our flight that included a brief layover in Guam- and we all gave a hearty wave to our Bernal friends Maribelle and Cyrus who live in Guam with their family.
