BACK THROUGH THE KEY HOLE!
I think I explained how we felt on our trip to Africa and now we've got sucked back through and now to dig out, do taxes, contemplate our time in Arica and WORK to top up the bank account!
Our trip;The flight from Entebbe was delayed and hour and we had to stop in Nairobi cuz there was not enough fuel in UG so we were 2 hours late. Missed a planned meeting with some friends in Amsterdam and got right back on the plane for MN, but besides that nothing out of the ordinary...even slept the first leg.
We got a nap thursday afternoon so we could go to the Maundy evening service...was real special and it even brought a tear to my eye (not exactely sure if I was so moved and greatful that God ahd brought us safely back or if I was just exhausted, or both).
One nuget I walked away with and I want to think on it more was that life as a missionary isn't so much about the spectaular (like people want it to be) and it is some times, but it's about the mundane, the day to day sluggin it out in a difficult world of circumstances with out the conveinces we have in the USA.
Thanks for all your prayers...don't stop now...will have more posts and pictures as the days pass. Blessings, Tom (the pick was us all packed up going to the airport)
