We leave on Friday!

We are busily getting ready for our trip to the U.S. on Friday and can't wait! In the meantime we are rushing around trying to get everything taken care of for Sunday school (or relief teacher seems to be AWOL) the compound (complicated by almost losing our housekeeper this week and a potential conflict between the "day staff" and night guards) John's work and packing.
My general sense of panic at the thought of our 18 hour, 50 minute flight from Johannesburg to Atlanta with a stop in Dakar, Senegal and without an assigned seat for Karis has slightly abated. This is the result of wonderful prayer from our Cell group and my Bible study as well as dvds she really enjoys (loaned from a friend) and a few new toys I have been holding back!! (also from friends! Thanks!) The nice thing about having one long flight is that it does make for the quickest trip possible. We leave Lilongwe at 1:30pm on Friday and arrive in Little Rock at about noon on Saturday. with short connections from Lilongwe to Jo'burg and Atlanta to LR. We are very, very excited about our trip and can't wait to see friends and family! All prayers for smooth travel are appreciated!
