As we landed in the middle of no where....:) looked like a desert....we can all now say, "We've made it!"
We are no in Windohek, Namibia with our passports and luggage in hand! We are staying at a lady's house named Hannah. She is very sweet and is taking wonderful care of us! Rob and his 2 oldest girls picked us up at the airport (this is the missionary that is going to be helping us get started in our temporary new home). They are so sweet and nice. It is pretty cold here and it just keeps getting colder as the night wears on. I keep having to blow on my hands while I'm typing to warm them up!
So we got most of our luggage. Stacey's didn't come through, but we saw it in Joburg, South Africa when we were there. It's on its way supposedly. So we are hoping to get it tonight or tomorrow morning. So praise the Lord! Our volleyball nets, vballs, crayons, paint, and our most of our clothes made it!
London was very pretty. We took the "tube" (underground subway) to visit places like Big Ben and Kensington Palace during our 10hr lay over.
We will be traveling tomorrow morining at 8:30 am our time. We are 6 hrs ahead of you...after all the time changes just 6hrs! :) Well I love you all and will continue praying for you daily! I will try to get on to post again! Thank you all for your prayers and the rest of team thanks you too. Please keep them coming!
Praying that Stacey's luggage makes it to her. Praise God that everything else made it through! Love you!
ReplyDeleteOh Stephani! What an awesome blessing to have a chance meeting with you online! Oh my goodness, your trip has just begun! You are now just beginning to get a taste of the culture, and tears are streaming down my face in joy as I'm writing this because of the excitement I have for you all! What you have ahead of you, oh my! May the Love of God spill out all over you and those you minister to. I so wish I could be there to share all these experiences with you! Keep them treasured in your heart and bring them back to share them over and over with all of us! You all are in our prayers continually, I love you <3...mom
