So, yes I eventually escaped the prison that is Heathrow Airport. Here's what I'll say of London....Beautiful buildings, lots of culture and 0 signs anywhere. Even once you get out of the airport there's no signs for buildings or landmarks we had to stumble upon things. On the return trip we have an overnight in London planning to do more sightseeing then. But then we finally got here. And it is beautiful.
We were taken yesterday to the New Creation Family Home (orphanage) and New Creation Center (school). The children greet you with big beautiful smiles and hugs. They don't even know us but they shower us with affection. Show us around and practically do not leave your side. Then they sang for us and did dances. It was heart warming!! Today we are doing a medical clinic and deworming children. Along with that we will be doing a VBS. I can't wait to show pictures.
The team here is great and the food is wonderful. Mom, you would have loved the vegetables last night. Now, I do NOT like peas but they had peas and carrots to put on our rice. It was spicy and it was GOOD! We also had chicken quarters that were marinated and grilled. Fresh pineapple and bananas and fresh juice. Our guesthouse is beautiful and the showers are good. AFter 4 hours of sleep in 48 hours the bed was great!
Looking forward to seeing you all.
Isaac I caught your kiss and hug last night did you get mine?

And Joshy I love you too.
Keep praying, God is going to move.

Hi Erika - It was so great to hear that you made it. I kept looking yesterday and Ryan figured out that you are 7 hours ahead of us. So when I was doing my LTG meeting on Monday night it was already Tuesday where you are! The veggies sound good, spicy -that's always good! Enjoy, and don't get to comfort-able down there. Love hearing from you through your blog. Much love to you my daughter! MOM
Hey Erika, I was just talking with Dee. She has missionary friends in Compala (sp) is that where you are? Their names are Mark and Stacey Luckey. We are looking forward to getting your beautiful kids on Sunday after church. Lord willing, we will already have the camper at the campgrounds. Love you - MOM

Hey sist, I got your info from mom, you really need to put my new email on your account. Anyway, it sounds like you are having a wonderful time. I am so proud of you! I miss you though- I have to call mom twice as much becuase I know I cant get ahold of you. (not that that is a bad thing, just sad I cant talk to you.) Are you in small villages or are you in larger towns? What is your favorite thing you have done? Love you. Kati
