Some adventures never end

What a way to bring to a close our Ubuntu Journey to Sierra Leone!!!     We've been 8 since December 2 and for awhile we were going out 2 by 2.   

 

As we rode the ferry to the airport we had heard rumblings that our plane was going to be delayed 5 hours.    We were on the 2 o'clock ferry to make our 8:00 p.m. flight so another 5 hours seemed long.   IT WAS!!  

 

It began to be appearant that our flight was not going to depart at 1:00 a.m.  The new word that was spread about was our flight would depart at 3:15 a.m.    What's another few hours?    Hot and tired all 8 entered the plane and were on our way to Brussel's by 4:00 a.m. and only dreamed of making the connecting flight to Chicago.

Well, it was a nightmare turned into a dream as we arrived in Brussel's just a few minutes after the plane to Chicago departed. So the nightmare of ticketing (along with several other delayed passengers) the 8 of us.   As I write this afternoon we are praying Carol and Sally have found their way to the US as directed.   Bonnie, Vickie, Cindy, Rita, Mary, and Randie have been given a new lease on life...they have to spend the night in the Brussell's Airport Sheraton Hotel.   We are enjoying showers, a great drink of refreshing water in the midst of cooler temperatures.  This is not how we had planned to bring the actual journey to a close.

 

Please continue to lift us up in prayer as we one by one are once again home.
