In Angola

It was a long journey but yesterday we finally arrived in Lubango. Along the way we enjoyed(?) two very long flights, spent 4 hours wandering the Frankfurt Airport, essentially lost, took a bus tour of Frankfurt, had a day inWindhoek, Namibia, and spent hours wishing we were asleep!
Here in Lubango we went straight to the missionary compound at Mitcha, where Jason, Julaine, Elissa and Carole are staying, and saw the baptism of a wonderful young man in the swimming pool. After the party, we headed to Peg and Steve’s and had supper, happy to settle in.
This morning we spent 4 hours sorting a container. What a lot of stuff, little of which we recognized. We sort like with like and Shelley, Steve’s sister, provides the medical expertise to help us categorize. We’re off for more sorting soon.
It’s winter here – very warm compared to Thunder Bay!
But now I must run. I’ll try to write more another time.
Hello Angola Team,
We’re so glad to hear from you. Happy you all arrived safely. Looking forward for more updates. Keep up the good work.
Talk to you soon
Bill Beavis,
Brenda & Tom Chaval
