They all arrived home safe & sound & running on high energy last night. Talkative & full of stories. They have LOTS of letters for prayer partners. Last night was still a night of "who has what suitcase" with various items scattered between them all.
Was told that leaving for the airport 4hrs prior to the flight was "just right" - any later would have been risky (and you thought your traffic was bad!)
Today is probably a day of sleeping, relaxing & just getting ready to home surroundings again & then they will be busy with many activities over the next two weeks.
MEET & GREET: Everyone is invited to either of the two "Meet & Greets" at Immanuel Lutheran-Harlan. Saturday 30th after the 5:00pm church with cheese & crackers -or- Sunday after the 9:00am service followed with fruit, rolls, coffee & juice. What a joy to meet both Beatric Kingiliwe last night: She is a primary school teacher for upper level/age students. Very knowledgable, well spoken & very strict on the way Swahili is to be pronounced (Rick is still getting lessons from her & she won't let him slack!!) She is a very classy lady. After so much correspondence with Past Wallace Lupenza, it was wonderful to meet him finally also! He is also a wealth of knowledge & has been integral in the agriculture program in Kidugala. Both of them are staying at the Chipman Farm. If you want to find out what activities to participate in, or if you have anything you would like to share - contact Rick or Cheryl Chipman to find out available times or what is on the schedule.
