Safe Arrival - Thank you , Lord!

We have arrived safely in Freetown. Our flights over were smooth, on time and uneventful -- just like we like it.

In case you are wondering, yes it is hot, even at midnight I am sweating with the AC on. Perhaps not as hot as it is humid. Miserable, just as I expected.

There was a mix up at our hotel and we have separte rooms for tonight and the move into a suite tomorrow. Not sure how that will work, as Joseph as a full day planned for us starting at 10:00. SO, please forgive me if this is a short post - the shower is calling and likewise the bed.

We received a humbling welcome in Freetown. Joseph and three other men were at the airport and swept us through baggage claim and customs. It could not have gone smoother. We sat and talked for a while this evening with John (not his real name, but I can't pronounce his real name), Paul and Joseph. They are such dears. I look forward to studying with them and getting to know them better.

Phil and Sid got checked in to the airport hotel this evening and will leave tomorrow morning at 7:00 for Bo. Send your prayers with them. THey have a cell phone and we hope to keep in close contact.

I am heading to bed...it will be morning before I am ready. God has been good...very, very good.
