Round 1 teams travel update

Here's an update on the return travels of teams SINGAPORE, HONDURAS and ST. VINCENT:

The SINGAPORE team (which traveled the farthest) wins the award for making it back to the States first! They're all here and safe, staying in a hotel in Minneapolis tonight and will return to Willmar on Wednesday.

Our ST. VINCENT team encountered some delays with the airlines and missed their connecting flight out of Puerto Rico (wait, didn't this happen on the way down?? (yes) ). They'll spend the night there and will fly on to Minneapolis on Wednesday (half of them through Chicago, half through Dallas.) They should all arrive in Minneapolis by 5 or so - we hope to have them back in Willmar by 8:00. They'll miss the public Q&A but are working through some closure materials now in Puerto Rico. Hopefully they'll be able to get up on stage and still give their final concert back in Willmar.

The HONDURAS team ran into some transportation difficulties on the ground and was unable to make it to the airport on time. The airline is accommodating them however and they're all set to fly home tomorrow. Unfortunately, they'll miss the public debriefing activities. Please pray for them as we'll be bringing closure to their time during their short stay at the hotel in Minneapolis before they head home on Thursday.
