I Didn't Get My Pat Down...

Thank you so much for all your prayers over our travels today. We left the church at 3:30 with a wonderful send off prayer and loaded up the shuttle with our bags and ourselves.  The travel  couldn’t have gone better!  From the time we left the church parking lot till the time we made it to the gate was less than two hours… on a Friday afternoon… in Atlanta… the Friday before Spring Break for most schools!  The flight, though long, was smooth and about half of us were able to sleep.  Steve and Amanda made the very wise investment in a neck pillow at the last minute at the advice of theiir amazing leaders Todd and Shawn.  Wisdom.  The 15 hours passed with some sleeping, some eating, and a lot of movie watching.  Finally, our plane landed in Johannesburg.  Getting through customs was a breeze and thanks be to God everyone’s luggage made it!  Tonight (Saturday) we are staying at a hotel attached to the airport.  Tomorrow we depart Johannesburg at 9:45 headed to Maputo, Mozambique.  From there we will drive to Xia Xia, about a 2 hour journey. 

Please continue to pray over smooth travels for the rest of our journey towards Xia Xia as well as good rest tonight for those that didn’t get to sleep on the plane.
