After 3 flights, we are finally in Libreville at the CMA guesthouse for an overnight stay. All went amazingly well for which we are immensely grateful. All our bags made it through just fine with only one opened by TSA. John's visa was a non-issue. They asked for it at Frankfurt. I held my breath and the agent looked like this happens all the time, people presenting a current visa in an expired passport. A big answer to prayer! Going through passport control in Libreville went as smoothly as I can imagine although they looked us all over like we were criminals or something. Everyone had their photo taken except me. I think that's because I'm a local celebrity here for my work with the container shipping! I plan to sign autographs for $ on the rest of the trip.
Well it will soon be time to sleep again (or try) and get ready for tomorrow's road trip. We've heard the bus has A/C, is a "charter" so no sharing with goats, and that there are bathrooms all along the way (no toilets, just lots of grass and trees). I'm sure I'll have lots to report!
Thanks for praying. We are seeing God at work!
Linda - We hear that you arrived safely - Adam just listend to Joanna's voice mail and it was the highlight of dinner here at our house. He was amazed someone could call all the way from Africa - so In honor of the all of you we went to "African Wild Safari" this weekend to learn about the animals that may be in Africa and Adam just asked to watch Penguins of Madagascar as they are stranded in Africa:) We will be praying for you, the Thelander's and the docs. that John will be working with! God Bless and be safe.
