We Made It

Julie and Micah,

Well we made it. I am writing this from our hotel in Johannesburg, South Africa. We got in about 6 p.m. (11 a.m. back home). I think most of us adjusted to the time change well. Brian and I tried to get onto the Internet but they wouldn’t let us use the credit card that we had, Visa and MC only type of thing.

The plane ride was, obviously, long…real long. On the first leg of our trip to Africa everyone was split up. Some of the team grouped together, the rest of us just left our seats the way they were. I took the opportunity to chat with the guy next to me, Ilee (or something like that). He was from Senegal but now lives in Louisville, KY. Small world. He became “perturbed” with the stewardess when she wouldn’t give him medicine for nausea. She was kind of parental to him, telling him that if he knew he would get sick why didn’t he bring his own medicine. All in all the trip was extremely uneventful, meaning no real turbulence. The touchdown in South Africa was by far just flat out amazingly clean. The pilot who flew us was on his last flight as a copilot he is now a captain.

So I wanted to call when we landed here but my cell phone sure enough didn’t get a signal. All is well though. I miss you two terribly. Every kid that cried on the plane reminded me of Micah and one of the movies that was showing was Charolet’s Web.
Well it’s 4 where you are now and you are still at work but it’s 11 here and we have to be up at 6 a.m.

I love you dear.

all about Christ,David
