Hi everyone, we are on Africa soil! It was a very long flight, not sure I want to do that again anytime soon!! The Mali airport was interesting. After they stop (they don't pull up to the airport), you get on a bus and they drive you across the road (it is just across the road), and then you go in and face the chaotic crowd! It was disorganized to us, but normal to the people here. After getting our luggage (we received all of our luggage!), we made it out and met an amazing welcoming group.
They tried to warn us before arriving how crazy the driving is, well, you can't imagine until you see it! We will be driving tomorrow, so please pray for our travel around the city.
We absolutely love our new home! Autumn had to move to Africa to get her own bathroom. It is very spacious, and it has a tall wall around it. Yes, it is hot, but we do have a air conditioner in the bedroom to use at night. We have a very pretty garden in front of our house. We will post some pictures soon.
We unlocked our gate today and the children swarmed us. Oh, it was awsome. Pray for us as we start our language learning that we may be able to communicate to the people.

Hey you guys.
So great to hear you made it safely and have a house (not a grass hut, Teresa) :) That is great!
I am so proud of you three. It is awesome to know that I am priveledged enough to have friends that are actually living the "purpose filled life". It is my honor to pray for you, and in doing so, maybe I can fulfill a little of that purpose as well.
Love ya

Great to hear our prayers were answered and you all made it safely. I will have to repeat what others have said and praise God for the opportunity to be a part of this incredible journey that the three of you are experiencing. God is soooo good and what a blessing He has given us in you three. Take care, keep blogging and will touch base with you all soon. Love, the Indas
