We Have Arrived in Namibia!

Well three days, four flights, and 48 hours later we arrived in Windhoek, Namibia! The flights went well, our kids did great, and all 17 pieces of luggage made it with us on our last flight!

We are praising God today for his protection, and care for us during all the travel.

We got some crazy looks at RDU Monday morning with all our luggage and boxes, and many looks when we got on the air planes. But at the end of each flight people told us our kids were great! A big sigh of relief there!

The kids are enjoying Namibia so far. Learning to try new foods, we did some exploring this morning for bugs, and found a ton of 8 inch long centipedes! They look like baby snakes, they are so big!

We are now getting ready to go for our first grocery run! Should be a lot of fun!

We will report more once we get our own Internet service up and running!

Thanks to all for supporting us financially and through prayer!

We are excited that God has brought us here to serve Him in this capacity. We are also honored to be the hands and feet of each of our supporters as we each serve the Lord together to make is name famous in the land of Namibia.

God Bless!

I am thankful all went well. I hate I didn't get to talk to you again before you left the states. I look forward to your updates.
I guess you have seen what is going on in Haiti, it makes me very sad.

It's so wonderful to hear the news of your safe arrival. Enjoyed reading your update and the children's update. The Christmas video was powerful, too. Our Father will be using each of you to reach and teach! We'll continue praying for you all!
