We made it!


Well after a long trip and many hours we've made it to Africa. We are just waiting now for Becky and Chris to come back from the store... they had a little flat tire issue but our friend here, Sue, who housed us last night is going to pick them up so we can make our way out to Bulembu. It was wonderful to get a full nights rest in a bed last night. The plane rides were long and we got some rest but last night was sure a treat. We had a lovely breakfast this morning made by Sue the woman who runs the B and B we stayed in "Arches" in Nelspruit. We are all excited and eager to reach our final destination, everything has truely been a blessing since we've arrived. Everyone is healthy and seem rested for the next leg of our journey. The drive from JoeBerg to Nelspruit was beautiful and we saw some interesting countryside ranging from mountains, streams, orange and lemon trees, prickly pear catus, squatter camps, small towns, to Milly's restaurant where we stopped for lunch. Our drivers have all been lovely and kept us safe... but they sure drive steadily here. Everyone misses home but we are ready for the blessings ahead and truely ready to be of service. Peace and Love
