We arrived

The Pearson baggage handlers stike was a concern for us leaving Toronto. We had 6 large suitcases 3 weighing in a 49lbs and 3 weighing in at 50-52lbs. We are allowed 50lbs per bag. The problem was that we could not fit anything else in our lighter bags. Needless to say we were worried when we got to the check in desk. God tipped the scales in our favour, literally. Each bag came in at 48-49.6lbs. Everything went through fine.

Our flight to Brussels was 7hrs 10min. It was an overnight flight and Don, just Don, slept the whole way. 

We arrived in Brussels and met up with Greta, who had come from Frankfort. After a quick "shower" in the airport bathroom we were ready to...wait. Our layover way just over 5hrs. 

The flight to Liberia was 7hrs long which included a stop in Sierra Leone. Beautiful place to land, the airport in on a large island surrounded by many more islands.  

From Sierra Leone it is only 40minutes to Liberia. 

The airport was its usual crowded self. Amongst the noise confusion there is still a friendly spirit about the place. 

We got our bags after a slight delay and headed into the night to meet Theo and Augustine. 

It was another 2hour drive to the compound and then to bed. 

Our home for the next 18days is very nice. 25minutes to the job site. Clean and tidy, with 2 rooms, a queen size bed in each, one pink room, one purple. The host is friendly and accommodating. The best part is that we have air conditioning from 6pm- 6am!!  I happen to have found this place on Airbnb of all places. I quess that company is world wide!  Augustine met with the owner and checked out the place. He approved so here we are!  

We are excited to walk out this mission with God leading the way.  We are been reading and doing divotions on being Bold, asking Boldly, speaking boldly, and being strong in our faith. We hope to continue to be bold in the Lord and pray that he continues to lay out our mission path clearly for his glory.
