We boarded British Air Flight 191 to Austin nearly on time
around 10:45am London time. Although we
got a slightly late start, the estimates on our in-flight entertainment screens
still predict an arrival time of a little before 4pm Austin time this
afternoon. This will be a real blessing,
and with any luck, we will clear customs, get our footlockers and personal
baggage, and hope to arrive back at my place in central Austin by around
5:30pm. Many times when we’ve flown out
of Houston, I wasn’t home until 8pm or later after getting my truck from long
term parking, loading up our gear and driving back to Redeemer. I think we will all be in the best shape ever
because of this. We are just now over
the western coast of Ireland and have about 9 hours remaining of a 10 hour
flight. I expect we will be eating soon
and then I’ll try to get a little more sleep.
Over the next few days, I will be getting my feet back on
the ground, shaking off the jet lag from a 9 hour time difference and will
celebrate Thanksgiving with Redeemer, friends and family. As always, I will be
reflecting on what this trip has meant to us in the near future, the God things
that we witnessed and were blessed to be a part of. As stated earlier in this space, I will also
begin tackling the job of sorting through several thousand pictures, selecting
the best of those, making them even a little better and then will post them out
on the web. Stay tuned for the next week
to 10 days as the finishing touches are put on my account of the trip, the
images are published and we settle in on the dates for our next mission to Kenya in June
of 2015.
