Travelling Mercies ...
We're safe and sound in Kabala, Sierra Leone! I have some internet access now and I wanted to thank you for your concern and prayers for our safe arrival. After a marathon of flights, delays, sleep-deprivation (everyone), heat-exhaustion sickness (Maria and Naomi), we arrived at our destination some 49 hours after our departure from Ladner, BC. Currently, we are setting up our house (pics to come), adapting to our new surroundings, We are excited to be here- but that has also been tempered by times of strong emotions of missing familiar people, places and food! Much more to tell (from a 4-hour church service yesterday, to playing football with the neighbours and having an arts-and-crafts festival on the veranda, to greeting old friends and meeting new ones); hopefully we will have some access to the internet from home soon. In the meantime, we "tell papa God thankee".

Hello Joel and family! Hey, it's great to read that you've arrived safely in Sierra Leone and that although it was an incredibly long journey, all is well. Praying everyone will soon feel part of the local community and get a sense of home in new surroundings. Wishing you joy in this awesome adventure!
