July 17th Washington DC

I have a 5 hour layover in Washington DC, and I had to change airlines, so I had to get a new boarding pass. When I got here the customer service desk wasn't open (7 AM). When it finally opened I found out that they strictly keep the one 15 pound carry on rule. When I weighed my two bags that I had carried onto my flight from LAX they weighed 20, and 30 pounds each. I was forced to check my 30 pound bag, which contained my camera, laptop, and hard drive. I was able to keep my laptop with me and just carry it around, but I checked my camera and hard drive, trying to keep as much padding around each one as possible. I will see what condition it is in once it gets to Lusaka, but I am not too worried because it's in God's hands, and He takes better care of His stuff than I ever could! I also know that if He allows something to happen to it, then it's for His glory! Since the bag was checked, that made me have 3 checked bags, which you are only allowed 2; this would have meant a $60 charge for extra luggage for me! But when I went to pay, the customer service guy told me not to worry about it!!! :D God is already at work!
