After 16 hours in the plane over three days, we're finally here. All of our 23 checked bags made it through Chicago and London and arrived safely in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
In the London airport, we made an interesting observation. We had no car keys, no house keys, and no cell phone. It was a very strange feeling. Utter helplessness and complete dependence on God for everything.
In Tanzania, we began orientation right away with sessions on safety, procedures, and do's and don'ts of African culture, but we also started Swahili classes, took public transportation, and bought food at the local market.
Please pray for our health as we are still recovering from jet lag and the kids have all battled tummy troubles.
Praise the Lord for safe travels!! My thoughts have been with you often!
