The eagle has landed

Hello lovely people,

We are safe and sound in Lichinga! We all met at Nairobi airport and boarded the second flight together as a team. Amanda and Elias were waiting for us in Lilongwe and it was wonderful to be spoiled with their hospitality. Frank and Sandra lost two of their bags that have not been recovered yet from Kenya Airways (please pray).

The flight had been good but still everybody was super tired. We quickly came to the conclusion that it would be smart to rest another day in Malawi before we got into Mozambique. The journey through Malawi was a split-operation. The team in public transport minivans and Frank, Sandra and Judah in their own car. Frank and Sandra made it quickly to the border but the team got into trouble with a cheating, lying and money loving bus driver. He lied about his destiniation and refused to drive any further. It was quite a mess and a very frustrating experience for the team. Three hours later than planned they made it to the border.

The border crossings were very easy and smooth, though we did have to wade through a river that had come because of the heavy rain. It was a fun experience with a huge crowd of people watching this funny team arrive on bicycle taxis and then wading through the water. Because of our late arrival transport to Lichinga had become difficult. In the end Tinashe and Elias slept in a guesthouse and arrived the next day. The rest of us arrived around 23.00 at Frank and Sandra's house. We quickly made beds and we all had a wonderful rest.

Today and tomorrow we will try to settle and get organised. We are all in good health and spirit and we are looking forward to what God has in store for us the coming weeks.

Love, hugs and blessings,
The Team
