Early Thur morning we woke up, finished packing and headed off to the airport to begin our journey to Argentina. (Thanks to all who helped send us off!) We were welcomed at the airport by being told that we weren't allowed to fly to Argetina because we only had one way tickets and no visas! We were temporarily nervous, but several phone calls and questions to supervisors eventually resolved the situation. We were simply warned that we may be asked to buy a return flight ticket when we arrive in Buenos Aires (this didn't happen).
Thurs. was a very long day, but we survived our flight to DC and our 4 hour layover. We were able to have dinner with some friends in DC before flying out which was really special. About 10pm that night, our flight left for Buenos Aires. Zane slept like a champ and the 11 hour flight was at the very least tolerable.
We arrived safely this Fri morning with all our baggage safe and accounted for. Paul Hill, a missionary in Santiago, Argentina was there to welcome us and is taking a couple of days to show us around Buenos Aires before we take a very long bus ride to Tucuman on Monday evening.
Thanks for the prayers! We have been safe, the traveling has been smooth, and we have been warmly welcomed and taken care of to start this journey. We will try to keep you all updated through this blog in the coming days. (written by David for the Roberts' Family)
