They are still alive! Part 2
After hearing from Wiggles and her team; this is some of what she has been up to...
Wiggles left 25 (26... 27...) days ago and is at her half way point. And I am missing her something fierce!
So far we have received a post card and two letters by good old fashioned snail mail. These were sent while she was still at Teen Mission International's base in Florida, USA. She has now finished training at Boot Camp and is finally in Honduras. Her team consists of around 25 teens plus leaders so about 30 altogether. Every two or three days we get an update from her leaders on the TMI website. There was a few delays reaching their first assignment but they have made it!
First they all piled into a bus and were delivered to the end of the road... From there they piled most of their gear including tents, kitchen, and food for a week on the backs of donkeys... Then off they set on foot with 40lb (18kg) packs... along some wild trail... into the mountain jungles of the most dangerous country in the world (outside of a warzone)... for a five hour hike (turned into six hours)... up to a remote Indian Village...
It was a real relief when we saw the update that her team had made it to the village where they are staying. This was one time when I was extremely grateful for cell phones!
There are two more jungle villages they will visit and spend time in before Wiggles and her team return to Florida, USA for debrief.
I think God is stretching our faith in Him to keep her safe as much as her faith that He will keep her in the palm of His hand.
Take care and God bless, Wiggles and all of your team!
