Guardian Angels

A Bishop from Connecticut USA and his wife were flying to Buenos Aires to pick up their missionary son.  About 45 minutes before landing they learned that there was a change of plans and they would not be able to reach their destination and enjoy all the things they'd planned with their son because of the volcanic ash cloud. "The Lord must've known to divert us to Santiago", the Bishop said.  These "guardian angels" have checked into the Ritz Carlton Hotel.  They will meet the group of eight American missionaries, which includes their son and two Hermanas, at the bus terminal on Wednesday morning following the missionaries unexpected 20 hour bus trip from Buenos Aires. They will transport them back to their hotel suite, let them shower and rest, feed them and see that they each get to the Santiago, Chile airport for their various flights for home which leave Wednesday evening. We are touched by their generosity and grateful that our Heavenly Father sends angels to look after our sons and daughters.

Sweet!  Way different than what we're used to!

What?  Hope that volcanic ash isn't following us!
