As many of you know, we have been waiting to get the word that Bill, Lucas' dad, received permission to go back to Africa since they are in charge of short term teams in West Africa. Bill got the go ahead on Friday from the doctor! We are so thankful that he has been able to heal quickly and seems to be regaining his strength!
We were able to buy our tickets (again) today! We have almost the same identical itinerary as last time. We will fly out next Tuesday, February 4th at 10 pm from O'hare in Chicago. We will first fly to Istanbul with about 21 hour layover. Then we fly through Mauritania where we will briefly stop and then get to Dakar on February 6th at 8:30 pm (local time).
We are excited to get to Thies and see what God has for us there! We hope to be able to update you with pictures and what we are doing every couple of weeks. Thanks for all your prayers and support thus far. Prayers especially for safe and smooth travels would be greatly appreciated as we head out next week on this new adventure God has for us!
