Less Than One Week to Departure

Time is going quickly! Less than one week to departure. We have learned that we will be riding in a van the 8-1/2 to 10 hours from Libreville to Bongolo. The missionary plane is in the US for repairs and the rental plane is unavailable. The local plane doesn't fly for 2 days down to Mouila. The ride will be rough and muddy but will be worth all the struggle to get to see the Thelanders of Gabon. Pastor Sangoye will drive us down to Lamberane where Luke & Keir will meet us.

Thank you for praying for traveling mercies for us particularly as we travel down to Bongolo from Libreville, the capitol city.

Packing is coming along albeit slowly. We have 4 trunks and one 45 pound box packed and ready to go. We have perhaps 4 suitcases and 2 carry-ons to pack yet. We will continue on with great energy :)

We are blessed with only snow flakes so far which is very unusual for this time of the year in these parts. It is hard to get my head around the fact that we will be in temperatures ranging from 92 to 102 degrees - with no airconditioning. But we will have overhead fans which make a world of difference and for which we are grateful.

Blessings.
