We made it!


After an hour delay in Johannesburg we boarded the short 2 hour flight to Windhoek. We arrived at the smallest airport we’ve been to yet and walked across the tarmac to the terminal. All our bags arrived safely and we breezed through customs with no issues. We loaded up our two kombies with luggage and set out to Arandis. Along the 4 hour drive we watched the sun set glad we didn’t have to get on another plane. Everyone wanted to see and experience the new landscape, but the exhaustion finally took over and most everyone fell asleep except our drivers and the few people keeping them awake.

When we pulled up to our house in Arandis people woke up long enough to unload the cars, blow up their air mattresses and get situated in our new place. Everyone crashed pretty early hoping a good night’s sleep will help us get over our jet lag. With great expectation and anticipation we look forward to what adventures our two weeks in this new place will bring.

  1. I'm so glad to hear you (& ALL your luggage) arrived safely. Looks like some prayers arrived ahead of you. I'm impressed that everyone in the picture is smiling even though you must be all exhausted. I'm looking forward to reading your posts & hearing about your adventures (even seemingly mundane ones) as you share the love of Christ with the Namibians, as well as with each other. I will continue to be in earnest prayer for the team. Enjoy the new culture & be bold!
