Safe in Johannesburg

The Team has arrived in Johannesburg, South Africa and we're at our hotel. It is Thursday, 8:20pm here. We are 10 hours different... so it's Thursday, 10:20am for you. The flights were long, but thank goodness for movies to watch, music to listen to, and good meds that kept certain members of the team sleeping for 7 hours straight!

Jan, Char and Shelley did not get all of their luggage that they checked. So pray that it comes tomorrow before we leave for Malawi, or else they will have to deliver it to ABC and that could take a while.

Because all we have seen is the airport and the hotel, it doesn't really seem like we are out of America yet. But Sherry assured us we will realize we are not in America tomorrow when we take our final flight to Lilongwe.

Some of the team is already sleeping and the other half is eating at the hotel restuarant. Janie and Joe wanted to go on a tour of Johannesburg tonight, but I think everyone else was too tired (they are such adventurers!).

Pray that our final leg of the trip tomorrow goes smoothly. I think everyone is just ready to get to work! Thanks for your love and prayers!

Good to hear everyone arrived in Johannesburg and are resting. Let's keep praying the 40 ft. container arrives soon, too. I hear it's on its way?

Praise the Lord! Sleep is a good thing on such a long trip, too. I will keep praying that the group stays healthy, that your work is easy and enjoyable and that God continues to use you as a blessing to ABC and the people of Malawi. Send pictures!
