Safe Arrival

Jambo from Mwangaza - It is 8:41 pm.  After a very long journey, we have arrived at the gates of Mwangaza.  It was wonderful to see Andrew meeting us at the airport.  Alexa was stopped in customs and had to open her bags but luckily she was able to convince the agent that she was harmless and only had nylons and children's books in her luggage.  Next, our bags were loaded into a van and we headed for the gates of Mwangaza.  Steph had a few moments of panic on the ride to Mwangaza.  Our driver could make a New York Taxi driver look like a grandma!  I had the unique experience of looking down into the river and seeing a gentleman taking his afternoon bath.  No shower curtains at the river.  We were greeted warmly by friends at Mwangaza.  The Minooka Football shirts were a big hit with Loyishe, Leiyo, Andrew, Ishmael, and Jophat.  They had to try them on and have their pictures taken with the shirts.  Loyishe's wife is having another baby!  Luckily I packed two baby blankets.  One for Rachel's new grandbaby and now for Loyishe's wife.  We walked to the safari lodge for dinner tonight.  Delicious guacamole and chips and we even had more than two chips each.  We will be heading to church with Andrew at 7:00 am and then to his Sunday School class.  I'll post more tomorrow  evening when we have more time and less jet lag.
