We made it, we slept, and now off to church

We arrived in Burkina at 10:00 pm local time (4 pm Central) after another 6 hour flight. It was 2600 miles from Paris to Ouagadougou. When we arrived in Ouaga, we found Ram waiting for us in the customs area. After about an hour, which was only an hour because Ram took our passports and had them processed for us, we collected all but one bag out of 39 (a minor miracle) and left for the Hotel Excellence, our base for the next 10 days.

As I write this morning, at 6:40 local time (12:41 am central) there is a rooster crowing outside window, and a minaret from the mosque across the street calling people to prayer. We are off to two different churches this morning and Father Ed will be speaking at one of them.

As soon as it is daylight (and John McClung and I change rooms-whole different story) we will get some initial pics of Burkina, as well as some travel pics and put them up.

Thanks be to God for a safe trip of 33 hours, and for sleeping in a laying down position.

Will write more later.

PS-John McClung says "Hey, wish you were here!"
