Goodbye Yei!

Monday morning, about 10, we arrived back in Adelaide after flying from Yei on Sat morning, staying at Entebbe until evening (it's a nice airport) then on to Nairobi. We left 11ish, flew up the coast over the pirates of Somalia, across the Gulf of Aden, over Mumbai and across India. Across the bay of Bengal, over Burma and landed at Bangkok. The stop at Bangkok stretched out to about 1 ½  hours sitting on the plane before we took the relatively short flight over Vietnam, Laos and China to Hong Kong. Changing from Kenya Airways to Cathay Pacific we left on a direct flight to Adelaide just before midnight, flying directly over Darwin at dawn

 We were glad to get through customs without major problems, as we had to declare Nat not being well in the middle of the swine flue epidemic! Made to wear face masks and taken to the nurses station, we were checked for temperature, and sent on our way, all clear!

We had a great time in Sudan, we saw the Lord guide and provide in getting us there in the first place, we were able to achieve most of what we had gone there for and had been able to assist in other unexpected tasks. We come away with a new knowledge of the Sudanese people (and their sad history), new friends, and a new desire to help where we can.

 As I awoke, somewhere over the Bay of Bengal, an old song came back to my mind; "Follow me, follow me, hear the voice of the Saviour". I can't remember any more words, but those few have message enough… To say yes, whenever he calls, as those first disciples did, is our desire. Where will He take us? What will we do? we don't know those answers, but we do hope to be listening as He calls.

This trip has been a wonderful experience, and we thank our God for every friend we have made, every mile travelled, and everyone who has supported us!

 

God bless you all.
