We departed from Omaha around 11am on Sunday morning. We safely arrived in Denver and were quickly on our way to Frankfurt, Germany. About an hour out we were told that the Frankfurt airport had closed down because of a snow storm but they were trying to get it up and running as soon as possible. We circled around waiting for an hour before our pilot was saying that we would run out of gas before the airport opened. So we landed in a little airport in the town of Hannover as we waited...on the plane...for 6 hours. We were finally cleared to fly to Frankfurt (we had missed our next flight as well as everyone else). Once we arrived it was crazy. There were massive lines all over of people trying to get a new flight to where ever they were going. We finally found out that there was one more flight going out that night to Innsbruck. The bad news was there was a waiting list of over 30 people to get on the plane. We decided to get on the waiting list anyways and if we didn't make it on than we would get a hotel for the night. When it was about an hour until the plane was going to fly out they made an announcement that they believed that everyone that was on the waiting list would make it on the flight. Praise the Lord! We were on our way on probably the smallest plane I have ever riden on, it even had propellers. (There are pictures yet to come) We arrived to Innsbruck with all of our bags around 8pm on Monday. Dave was able to be there to pick us up and then show us around our apartment. We are amazed at how God provided for our throughout that long journey. Currently we do not have internet at our apartment. Hopefully we will get that set up in the next few days. We will share more soon! We love you all! Thanks for all your prayers!
