Just a few more videos to share...

Hey everyone! Since we're sitting in South Africa waiting for our next flight, we might as well share a few more videos with you all on certain highlights of our trip.

The first is of John playing guitar and singing, while Bonnie danced to the music at a worship service in Walvis Bay.



The second is a glimpse into the dance classes and final performance of all the kids in Arandis!



Hope everyone enjoys these, and I can't wait to see everyone tomorrow when we get home!

I can't wait to see you. I have missed you soooo much. Tomorrow night will seem so much brighter when you come home. I'm loving you without end, praying for safety, and for Christ to surround every tender heart who has been on this journey.
You are my princess,
Loving you endlessly,

Melissa - would love to prayer partner with you. My email is grammy24nc@earthlink.net so write me after we get our "children" settled and we can e-talk! Am wondering why by now we have not heard from anyone - maybe they are sleeping through Dubai layover which would not be a bad thing - but they'll wake up to use computers and we'll be asleep!

COURTNEY - it's 11P (almost) and papa and I just got back from dinner with Lynn and Ashley - fun! And you never told us you saw Ashley at Mellow Mushroom - with a DATE!! LOL Anyway, hope you are doing well and getting some sleep - we will be going to bed soon - hope we hear from you! love and HUGS, grammy and papa

K & B,
Hey you Dubibians - hope all is well there and that you guys get a small post off before you leave. I'll be up a bit longer-you know I like to track the flights but this one will have to wait until morning. Long day! Went to family night at Erin's camp. She has been having a great time as a CIT. Loved the videos -have some questions that you will have to answer when you get here. Patrice you are a ham too!
I can safely say that all of us are eagerly awaiting your return.
Sleep as much as you can
Love
Mom

Melissa and team Namibia:
It is 8am here, and you are somewhere up in the sky, headed for JFK. Maybe you won't even read this before you get back to me, but I need to feel like I am in touch with you somehow. You are probably all very sleepy, and hopefully catching up on some much needed sleep on the plane. I hope customs at JFK goes smoothly and you can board your bus for home quickly. It seems like 10pm will never get here. I just wanted you to know, one last time, how proud I am of all of you, and how happy I am that you all got to change your lives in some way by participating in this trip. From Darin's blogs and all the journal entries, it sounds like
God "showed up" in alot of places and people for you.
My best to Nate and "G" who stayed behind. Thank you so much for watching over my girl.
Love you Mean it.... see you in a few hours. Mom xoxo

Thank you so much for the work keeping us updated on our family members while the team was there and I thank you for the guidance, I am sure you gave Stephanie M.

In case anyone is checking this...I'm sure most of you have received phone calls by now that the team is safely on the ground and headed back home on buses from NYC.

Linda M said...

Thanks Lisa - I know several of us have not received phone calls yet. Good to know.

Hello to parents and families:
Thankyou to Lisa for the post. Our prayers were certainly answered. Yes, a message from Darin via Sharon Havens is: the buses left on time from NYC, but there is heavy traffic. The ETA is anywhere between 9pm, and so on.... I thought some parents may need this information.
See you in the parking lot! Sallie Werst's Mom
