Laurie Arrives in Lanseria, South Africa

Again sorry for not putting this up yesterday. We had power, but no internet connection! Gggrr!

Laurie landed after a long flight yesterday. It took about 6 hours to go from Malawi to Lanseria which is next to Johannesburg. Laurie said that South African airspace was crazily busy. It's a bit of a change from the quiet grass airstrips that he normally flies into!
He has a day of quiet today (Thursday) and will fly home tomorrow. Hurrah!
We really appreciate all the prayers that have been said on Laurie's behalf, and for me and the girls at home too. So, thank you all very much!

Laurie Arrives in Lilongwe, Malawi

Sorry I couldn't post this yesterday. The power was off - so that means no internet!

It's a long way to Lilongwe! Laurie arrived safely with all passengers plus a cello at about 1.30pm on Tuesday. Laurie, Mike (other MAF chap, plus his kids Deborah and Ivan) are staying with some friends of ours - Rachel and Stu who used to live here in Kampala. Deborah and Ivan were apparently having a wonderful time playing with Rachel and Stu's two kids - so it sounded like it was a good place to stop for all. I will let you know when he arrives in Lanseria tomorrow.
