Home Safely


We arrived home safe and sound to lots of snow and cold temperatures. We were 30 minutes late landing; got through customs very quickly; had to wait almost an hour for our luggage!
Jennifer and Quinn were at the airport to meet us. Stephen, Yenny, Aiden and Sean were waiting at home.
Quinn looked stunned when he first saw us and then was all smiles and giggles. Aiden made strange at first, but was then his usual happy self with lots of smiles too. It was wonderful to be with them again.
We have not suffered any jet lag. Still going to bed early and up around 7:15. Lots to unpack and even more laundry, but it is all summer clothing so there is really no rush to get it done!
We miss all our new friends in Africa. We especially miss the weather! We know that God will continue to bless the Kennys and the other CBM Staff there. They are all doing wonderful work in His name.
Thanks to all of you who have read our blog and kept us in your prayers. We know that our trip was as successful as it was because of your prayer support. We hope that our blog was interesting and informative and that you were able to experience a little taste of Kenya because of it. Don will be adding a few of his thousand or more pictures to this blog over the next few days.

Hi Don and Joy,
What a trip! Sounds like everything went well, and it's good to know that you are safely home.
What did you think of Africa? I find that there is a different feel about the place, even over African airspace as you look out over the continent from the plane. Did you have any scarry moments or unexpected surprises? Do you plan to go back?
Hope you had a great Christmas holiday season with your family, and God's blessings to you for 2009.Ethena
