Leaving on a Jet Plane.....

We have officially begun our journey home. We were up very early this morning, 5:00am, so that we could be ready to leave the house by 6:30. We had to be at the border by 7 am. Esther got us to the border with time to spare and worked her magic to get us to the front of the line that was already formed. We had a bus waiting for us on the other side to drive us through Rwanda to the airport.

After we were all stamped out of the Congo, we had a very emotional good-bye with Esther. We hopped on our bus with Jonatel and began the journey to the airport. We arrived at the airport around 10:15. We had plenty of time to spare as our flight was not until 1:45. So we walked around and enjoyed the shops.


We have now arrived in Naorobi, where we have a 6 hour layover. We are enjoying time in the Java House....people watching, playing some Uno and next a game of Catch Phrase. We are all excited to be heading home to see our families.


Please continue to pray for traveling mercies as we continue towards home, as well as for Michael and Patrick with the Sons of Congo team, that are still in Kinshasa.

See you soon!


Jess, Jen, Terry and Nona
