After getting on a plane on Sunday night, team 2.5 finally got off Wednesday morning in Afghanistan safe and sound.
The flight into Kabul was one of the prettiest i have ever been on. The mountains here are all capped with snow and look so beautiful and peaceful. and since the city is nestled in the valley, we had to skim just over the tops of the hills in order to descend quick enough. it felt like we were about to land on one of the peaks.
once we got into the airport, it was a little nightmare-ish! it wasn't too bad, but it just felt very chaotic. understandable, but still frustrating.
While we were waiting for the rest of team 2 to get back from a filming project, we were able to take a tour of the organizations offices. i have heard steve talk a lot about what they do and about living here in kabul, but it's really different when you see first hand what happens around here. it really makes me look forward to the rest of this trip.
just in case you are really bored, i am going to try to put together a video blog as well. i am sure it will mainly be us fooling around, but if you have nothing better to do, you can check it out. you'll probably watch our first blog -which is just randomness on the plane after 20 hours of travel- and never check it again :) just remember... i warned you! www.youtube.com/mbombley
hope you all are doing well. we would love to read a few of your comments on the blogs. so, if you read it... leave us a note to say hello.
See you all in 2 weeks~

Guys...really...now I am hungry for ribs! By now you are on the ground and getting settled. Can't wait to hear about the food there, too!

Okay, so your in-flight boredom was contagiously painful-but I'm sure by now it's a distant memory! (Poor Goody-definitely give that boy some REAL ribs!)Ya'all stay safe AND stay alert to what God is doing through you in the moment. Gotcha all covered in prayer!
Your plane was 90% empty?!?!? Both of our 13 hour flights were completely full. Love the video blog. Glad to hear you're all safe in Kabul.
How much did the airline pay ya for doing that commercial for them?
video blog, nice touch.
yeah...video blog...hehehe...I can't wait for more of those! I'm glad to see you all made it on the plane and even happier to read you are safely on the ground. I just heard the reports from Kim (per Pastor Henry) regarding the airport situation ... sounds fun. :S
Goodie- you are kinda sad, there.
Dave- Good job making the connecting flight! Have fun, I can't wait to hear all about it when you get back!
