We are home!

It is good to be back. Thank you for all the prayers and encouragement along the way. God is good!

We are almost home

We have been up for 46 hours and in one more hour we will be home. We are on the plane and from our perspective everything look like a go for takeoff. We are so tired and so ready to see our friends and family.

See you soon!

We are in Minneapolis

After sitting on the plane in Amsterdam for 5 hours and flying for another 8 hours we have arrived in Minneapolis. After we go through customs we will see what the plan is and when we are rebooked for Sioux Falls.

We have arrived in Amsterdam

The team has arrived safely in Amsterdam. The goal is to stay awake from now until we lay our heads in our own beds back in Sioux Falls. It is 6:00 AM Thursday in Amsterdam and 11:00 PM Wednesday in Sioux Falls. In 17 1/2 hours we will be home!

Waiting for the plane in Nairobi for Amsterdam

Ok, we are officially fat from our feast. We just ate more protein than we did the whole 2 weeks combined. It is just about time to board the plane. The goal is to sleep on this leg and stay up on the next two. Sleep should be easy with all the work our bodies are trying to do with our supper.
