Out of Africa

As  I type this we are waiting through our long layover in Doha, Qatar.  This is our third airport today and although it is the nicest, I think that by the time we leave, it will be my least favorite!  

After saying our goodbyes to the children and staff this morning we were driven to the Yei County airport.  We had to ask permission of the security to take pictures but I'm so glad that they let us.  As my friend Michelle used to say, "Mere words could not describe this place!"

This is baggage check, waiting for our plane to arrive.   Our flight was on a larger plane this time and gratefully it went well.  We made a stop at Arua which is just over the border in northern Uganda.  We added a few passengers including one of our own from Northwest Bible Church!  Brian Bain and his friend Roger were on their way back from their own time of serving in South Sudan.  

We spent several hours in Entebbe, Uganda and were grateful for the use of the VIP lounge complete with a massage chair.  The one gift shop gave us somewhere to pass a little time and spend a little money while waiting for our flight.  

My last photo from Africa as we pulled away from the gate.

So now we are 6 hours away from Africa but still many hours from home.  

I thought that I would add more before posting but now I have been awake for 25 hours and don't really have any coherent thoughts left.  We will board our final flight shortly and I hope to sleep for some/most ?! Of the flight.

Please pray for this last bit of our journey.
