Sierra Leone...at last

A long, long, long day of travel has come to an end. Our DBU travelers have arrived safely at the Hope Center and by now are snoozing away.

I received a text message just after 6:00 pm our time from Dr. O'Brien in the water taxi. How cool! From a form of transportation I would consider so rustic, he was able to send a text message. Technology! What would Abraham have done with a smart phone "back in the day"? (That is a discussion for another day, for sure.)

The last message I received said that Donald Conteh had picked them up from the water taxi and drove the group to the Hope Center. Donald is one of the guys in the photo to the right.

The message from the group stated they were very tired, but happy. Hopefully by now, they are sound asleep. No big activities are planned for Saturday so they will have time to get acclimated to their surroundings. I am hoping for a photo to come our way - but may have to wait until they return for that.

Peter's dad sent me a link about the Hope Center, so I am including it here - in case you would like to know more about the place that is hosting our group.

Take care and I will update as I hear.

    Erin-
    I am glad to be able to help the group by relaying messages. Something wonderful happens in lives when we join together in prayer for others and I love to be a part of what God is doing. Thanks for reading! Blessings to you
