(from Garry)
From southern Portugal to southern South Africa. 48 hours, two trains, two vans, two planes, two busses. You can imagine how we felt arriving in Mthatha, South Africa at 5:30 this morning. Most of us were too tired to even notice, much less appreciate, a flight on an Airbus A-380, the largest commercial airliner in the world, from Frankfurt to Johannesburg (on the inside it looks just like any other widebody aircraft, except for larger overhead bins). We thank the Lord for safe travels and endurance for the journey. Today we are recovering and learning about the plans for our two-plus weeks in this region.
We'll have more details of our last days in Portugal by the end of the week. In the meantime, we are enjoying the beautiful view from Sondela (a Xhosa word meaning "come near"), a combination training center and preschool as we catch up on sleep.
yeah! thank you Lord for their safe travels to the south!! :)
