Merci, merci!!!! :)

Well, I finally made it back to Bongolo.  Long story short....I decided to fly from Libreville to Bongolo and vice versa to "save time."  Normally, I guess it's about a ten hour drive, which means it's about an hour flight.  Simple enough, right? 

Today, it was a get picked up at 10 a.m. by Philipe to drive about two hours to the airport, which is normal and then proceed to wait for about four and a half hours, make the short flight, which for a few minutes, I thought I was going to die, but thankfully made it back to Libreville about 6:30ish.  It was a long day, but made for great time at the airport to read my Bible and spend some time with God thinking about all the things He's been teaching me. 

I can't believe I'm down to only a copule of days already.  Tomorrow morning, we're going to Hope House, the abandoned children's home and then to the beach, weather pending.  It's the rainy season.  Hot, humid and wet weather that this girl does not particularly care for.  But such is life.

Anyhow, thank you, thank you, thank you for your prayers.  My time here has been such a blessing and calling it amazing is an understatement.  There are so many people here who love the Lord and are faithfully and selflessly serving Him, both missionaries and local Gabonaise people.  I'm so blessed.
