For those who follow us on this site, mylast post had us heading off for our long journey to Africa.\u00a0 I know it would be much more interesting if we had some stories of all the problems that came up along the way but I am very GRATEFUL to say that our trip was completed without any real glitches! The Lord provided a ride to the airport and we are thankful that Chuck and Valerie went above and beyond the call of duty by helping us repack our hand bags because of the weight, then were willing to deliver the things left behind back to Williamsport.<\/p>\n

The first word of encouragement was that we would be able to check our luggage to our final destination and when we got to South Africa we were even more blessed to find out that they actually got there and transferred.\u00a0 One piece of luggage ended up coming off the carousel which was the very one Lisa wanted for some overnight items.<\/p>\n

Our first flight lasted about 18 hours total with a stop in Senegal along the way.\u00a0 Since we had an overnight stay in South Africa we were able to spend the night with Tony and Maria.\u00a0 They were kind enough to pick us up at the airport, open their home to us for the night and back to the airport the next day.\u00a0 Thanks guys, for your hospitality!\u00a0 Our 2 1\/2 hour flight the next day went well and we landed in Mozambique right on time.\u00a0 We were greeted by a small group from our host church as well as a few of our co-workers.\u00a0 We spent quite a bit of time in customs since they seemed pretty interested in what was in our luggage.\u00a0 They were not real careful about how they searched through everything so we were glad we were able to fit everything back in.<\/p>\n

Once we actually got our passports stamped, met everyone and got our things loaded we were taken to our new home.\u00a0 Once again, we were blessed by the fact that so many people had helped us by getting the house cleaned up and getting the refrigerator and shelves stocked up with enough things to get started.\u00a0 It was hard to believe that we had finally made it after so many months of planning, preparation and faithful prayers of God’s people.<\/p>\n
