We're in Africa, Honey!

After two days of travel, we made it safely to Kinshasa, DRC, all luggage in tow, yesterday evening.  The first words out of our mouth were, "We're in Africa, honey."  It still seems surreal.

Debbie slept pretty well on the airplane but Mike only dozed a little here and there. Despite the seven hour time difference, we were both ready for bed at what would have been 5:00 PM MDT...midnight here in DRC.  We slept about 12 hours, finally awaking around 1:00 PM this afternoon...feeling quite refreshed.


Debbie went to visit the Kinshasa Christian School today. She watched the children rehearse for their upcoming program and talked with the founders of the school.  Debbie will be speaking there tomorrow, during their opening assembly. 

Mike hung out around the Francis' house, taking pictures and visiting with their sentinel, De Gaulle.  I asked him if they were able to talk to each other (the sentinel doesn't speak English) and Mike said, "No, but we understand each other. He really seemed to enjoy his time with him. 

Tomorrow, Mike will be working at the MAF hangar, working on a "project" David has planned.

We sorted all the goodies we brought for the missionary families, enjoyed a nice dinner with a gal, from the US, who we met up with in Brussels and who helped us through the airport in Kinshasa. We are now watching a movie on the "big screen"...and I mean BIG SCREEN.
