I am here after 43 hours of Traveling!!

Hi friends and family! I have made it here safely!! Thank you so much for your prayers. Well let me see if I can briefly catch you up on my life. We arrived into London and we got to see Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey and Bridge, Big Ben, and some other places that I cannot remember off the top of my head. We rode the subway into the central part of London and walked from there. It was a pretty day in London but we were all pretty exhausted. We got back to the airport around 3 and waited to board the plane at 8. We rode Virgin Atlantic to Johannesburg. The plane was very nice, but after 2 red eye flights back to back I think I had enough. We got into Joburg and we waited to get our flight to Maputo which left at 1. So we all laid around until then. Then we boarded the plane to head to Maputo! It was supposed to take an hour, but evidentally the South Africa Airways does not waste time because we arrived in 40 minutes! Haha Customs went smoothly and we got our luggage and then waited for our coordinator to pick us up. We were getting a little nervous sitting in an unknown city by ourselves but after 30 minutes Tomas had shown up. We were all pretty relieved to see him. He is very friendly but I do not know if he has much planned for us. But we will see. we smushed into his car with our huge bags and said our prayers as we went through crazy African streets. As we were driving I thought I was in a movie with some of the poorest people looking at us, and then little children running around barefoot playing games. It was definitely a culture shock. We finally arrived at the school and were greeted by Rhoda Restrick. It was very nice to see her and they are definitely taking care of us. After we moved our stuff into our temporary apartment we walked out and a group of children were out playing. We met them and they sang a bunch of songs to us in Portuguese. It was so great and definitely welcoming. For dinner we ate with the Work and witness team from Colorado. It was a good time. Then the Restricks let us take a warm shower at their house which felt great after 3 days of traveling. The we had tea and headed to our beds. We got great sleep which was definitely needed! Now we are just waiting to hear from Tomas and what he has planned for us. Thanks for your continual prayers. They are appreciated so much! Miss ya!
