In all the years of flying and with all the trips I have flown, I had a new experience yesterday. I had a flight cancelled due to bad weather. BWI shut down flights for awhile. And I couldn't get to JFK.
So I wasn't able to get my flight from JFK to Budapest.
And to make things worse, I stood in line for over two hours, just to talk to a Delta agent to rebook my flight.
So, I am flying from Baltimore to Cincinnati to Paris to Budapest. Only this flight is about 9 hours longer to get there! So I'll arrive Sunday evening in Budapest.
And I miss the first day of the conference.
I am a part of a conference for the African and European staff of United World Mission. I'll be speaking on the spiritual life of the leader in the mornings for them.
It has been a long time since I have been in Hungary. I was here in the early 1990's (I forget the exact year) and that was for a very short visit. I hope to have a little time to see some of the sights of this beautiful city.
I'll try to post an update on most days.
Pray that I'll have good sessions with the UWM staff and be able to encourage them on the pursuit of the spiritual life with Christ.
