Just wanted to post a quick blog letting everyone know that we arrived safely to Africa Wednesday afternoon. After a 14 hour plane ride to Dubai, an 8 hour lay over in Dubai, and another 8 hour plane ride, we finally arrived in South Africa. From there we got in a van and rode 6 hours to Swaziland. It was probably the longest most exhausting three days I’ve ever experienced! The ride from the airport to Nsoko is beautiful! Yesterday we got a call from the director here and he asked if we wanted to celebrate Thanksgiving with another team that is in country, so of course we said yes!
Today we’re headed back to Nsoko, and we’ll soon find out what our time here will look like. We’re ready to dive in to some ministries, and get the ball rolling with all that God has for us in Africa!
Please keep us in your prayers as we start adapting to the culture and our new home for the next 6 months!
In Christ,
Jon
I am so proud of you!
I am glad to hear that you arrived in Swaziland safely. May God continue to bless you and keep you safe. I look forward to seeing you when you get home and to hearing all about this wonderful adventure you are on. I am certain that God has great things in store for your over the next 6 months. Take care my brother and remember that I am praying for you daily.
Your brother in Christ Jesus,
John
