Arrival!

Long but smooth flights…

I met team member Dave Howell of St. Paul’s UMC, State College, a couple of hours before we departed from Dulles Airport, Washington DC. We arrived in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia 13 hours later, and then had lunch while we waited in the lounge for another two hours. Then... we departed for a two hour flight to Kigali, Rwanda, stopping on the way to let some passengers off at Entebbe, Uganda. Then… another hour by SUV to Urukundo Home – very tired but also very happy to have arrived safely at noon and joined the other five members of the team. To drive in Kigali one needs three hands – one for steering, one for shifting, and one for beeping the horn! Your prayers are effective!!
