All flights were smooth. There was practically no trouble at any airport. Bwana asifiwe (Praise the Lord)! It seemed we were eating every two hours or so. Sleep, eat, sleep, eat, de-board. Do it again. It's beautiful here! And this is just the city, I can't wait till we get to the village. The sky is clear and blue, the land is flat and green all around.
First night in a bed tonight after a couple days and most of the team is taking advantage of it. We arrived in the big city at 6 AM. After a short ride to the guest house, we had breakfast and some time to relax. We checked out the local market and we were able to get some deals (some better than others). We were fortunate enough to have dinner at a local restaurant much like a Brazilian BBQ - meat after meat coming around on skewers. It was delicious! We had crocodile and chicken liver and ostrich along with the norms of lamb, chicken, and steak. I'm not sure one back in the States could compare (sorry Porto Alegre).
Another flight tomorrow morning. Pray the flights continue to be blessed.
Pray for:
Grace and patience with each other to start now so when we are tired it is already a habit.
Continued blessing and protection from the Lord.
Open eyes, ears, and hearts for us and those we encounter.
Boldness and wisdom
You all are being prayed for also. Bwana akubariki (Lord bless you)! Please leave comments below!

I am so excited and happy to read your report. You are all being bathed in prayer every hour. There are so many of our family and friends that are lifting you up and rejoicing in what God is doing in your lives. I look forward to reading more updates and seeing some photos, too. Did Taylor get to see her elephants yet? I send all my love to Taylor and many blessings to the whole team. Not sure how use the HTML stuff, so hopefully this message will be readable!
In His Love,

Hey Y'All! Pray without ceasing. That is my mantra for this group. Whenever I think of you I pray. God will empower you and lives- including yours- will be changed forever. That thought alone gives me goose bumps!!
