Lessons Learned - Lesson 1

"When traveling the world, faithfulness is key."

I thought this one appropriate to start them off - because it plays into so many situations. There were a number of situations where mishaps would come up, and we just had to trust the Lord to provide. A lot of the future lessons will stem from this one.

Literally 10 minutes after Mom dropped us off at LAX, we had problems. For whatever reason, they couldn't print my boarding pass for the connecting flight from JFK to Joburg (but they could print my Dad's. Typical)... But our bags were checked through all the way to Joburg. If LAX couldn't print it, who says JFK would be able to? What if my bags ended up in South Africa without me? These were all questions running through my head. We left LAX in faith (with a rather large question mark looming ahead) that they would be able to provide us with my boarding pass to Joburg in New York... and they did. No problem. Why LAX couldn't do it beats me.
