This post should have happened LAST night....
We’re HERE!! We have FINALLY arrived in Africa. We actually set foot on African soil (well, concrete) when we stepped off of the plane and boarded a bus to the terminal and I think it’s hotter inside this airport than it was outside!! But NO complaining here – it’s gonna be much hotter when we actually get to Niamey in a few hours.
I am actually EXTREMELY surprised at how smoothly everything has gone so far. Aside from the very long line at check-in this morning for our Royal Air Maroc flight and a few rude folks who didn’t speak English cutting line…..OH, and Hannah throwing away her ticket (Doug found it in the trashcan), all has been well. Ironically, all of that happened in New York!! Not a hitch since we’ve been out of the country. I praise God for taking care of us and giving us rest before a week of hard work and extreme temperatures.
We are currently sitting in the food court at the airport in Casablanca awaiting our last flight. We were able to buy 14 waters for 31 American dollars so I haven’t had to exchange any money yet (thank the Lord). We’ve heard the theme for the Godfather THREE times already and the theme from Love Story once (may parents two favorite movies of all times) – a small reminder of home that I am thankful for. Anyway, the youth are playing cards, reading books and enjoying each other’s company!! All is well….no worries….one more airport to go!!
