Tuesday came quicker than we thought possible. It was a day of busyness...of sadness...of joy...of frustration! Yes mixed emotions, you could say!
The Lord gave obvious grace when the moment came to say goodbye to our dear families at the airport. Airports. Missionaries tend to have a love/hate relationship with them. Sometimes they're the best place in the world (picking up loved ones) - and sometimes they're the worst (saying goodbyes)! He put a joy in our hearts to be in Africa again....to be with the people we love and have been called to minister to!
The Lord also answered several prayers...
We were not charged for the extra suitcase we had
The children slept for the better part of the 18hour flight.
We only had 3 tickets, but were able to have an entire row (4 seats) both legs of the flight.
We had assistance from two porters when we arrived at the airport in Johannesburg. They took care of everything and even got us in special lines for both passports and customs. Very nice!
We were able to stay at a Bed & Breakfast that night to rest before we began our 4 hour drive home.
The children slept almost all the way home - and THAT'S a miracle!
Praise the Lord for His GOODNESS and for His wonderful works to the children of men...
