breathing african air

We're here! And last week I'm sorry I didn't post my list- we were at Heathrow Airport in London, and the wifi wasn't free :( But here is what I was grateful for last Monday:


Caleb and Seth both slept... on both 8 hour flights!


And all our luggage arrived!  All 35 pieces between my brother's family and ours!  God is gracious.

And excerpts this Monday, on African soil, inhaling the new smells of African air...#3869-3904


 this corner of organization.  a bright spot in the midst of chaos. 


little boys feeling at home.  watching Backyardigans on dvd.  having our cousin here for the next 10 days


 funny things at the grocery store.

  

beautiful women and happy children.  at our welcome BBQ.

 

 good conversations. new friends and partners in ministry.


This view from our balcony. will. never. get. old.

  2. Congratulations on your safe arrival to begin (again?) your African life. Thanks for visiting my blog today. May the Lord bless you in your new home and work.

    P.S. From a former missionary - don't wait too long for that first date. :)
