Arrival

We have arrived! After almost 24 hours of travel, we have finally arrived. Whew! It was a little stressful when we were in the middle of Brooklyn, hoping and praying that we would make it to the airport before the flight took off. Thankfully we made it safely and had time to spare. The line at security was the shortest that any of us have ever seen and we got to our gate with 45 minutes to spare. We got to Miami and had about a two hour layover before the longest leg of our trip. We arrived in Montevideo at 11:00am local time (8:00am EST) and spent the next hour going through customs and more bag checking. The customs officer was a little surprised when Ed lifted to reveal his tuba. After some deliberation (and thus stressful minutes for us) they decided to let us through. The missionaries met us at the door and we drove to the Beer's. Its amazing how similar and different countries are! We are currently sitting around Bruce and Stephanie's table enjoying lunch and pounding out the schedule for tomorrow.
