Ready to Fly!

June 2009 Adventures

Well, we are headed to Johannesburg, South Africa in just a few hours. Our ride comes at 4am and our flight leaves at 7am. We are packed and very ready to go! It was a little hard putting our kids to bed in long sleeves and jeans with it being so hot (we cranked all our fans) but we are going to experience weather shock when we arrive in Johannesburg tomorrow evening. It could be a 40 degree difference! I can't say I wouldn't mind a little cool weather for awhile though.

We have had a very busy couple of weeks saying many goodbyes to IMB friends and to our Senegalese friends. We were very proud of Lucas for giving his scooter to our neighbor boy across the street. He did it with a joyful heart even though it was hard. We couldn't get it to fold up and fit in a suitcase. We were excited, however, to discover that Alexis' little kitchen could pop apart pretty easily so the pieces did fit in several suitcases. It is encouraging for the kids when they see their familiar toys coming along. Thank you for your prayers as we experience this new adventure in our lives!
