Traveling

Our trip overall was pretty simple and not exciting. We had a long wait in Newark but it was fine. The hard part was that our flight overnight was only 7 hours and by the time they give you a little food and get the lights out you don't have many hours of sleep. Not that we slept well. And the 9-hour flight was during the day so that was really long. We landed at 8:40 pm but by the time we got out of the airport it was well after 10:00 and by the time he got to the house it was close to midnight. And then as African culture goes they had to feed us so we did not get to sleep too long before 1:00 and got up at 4:00 to shower and got to the bus station to get on the bus at 7:00 a.m. One highlight on the plane was meeting A young man who has lived in Belgium since age five because his dad has multiple lives and so he went there with his stepmoms and hasn't seen his real mom since he was five (went for a better life).. And he was flying back to Kenya for the first time since age five to meet his mom. He was 18. It was fun to talk to him on the plane. 

I think the total time of the bus ride will be about 10 hours by the time we actually stop a few times and get there. There are not bathrooms on the bus. And we get to listen to the bus drivers music the whole time. But the seats are pretty comfortable and there's good legroom. Silas, one of the 2 l, is who met us at the airport whose house we stayed at and he is with us on the bus. We would not have known how to do this without him. 

Tomorrow we will preach in separate churches and then mostly have free time the rest of the day.
