Melissa and I will be heading to Lilongwe, Malawi tomorrow to catch our flight to Atlanta on Wednesday. We'll be in the U.S. for two weeks and we'll be lucky to not collapse from exhaustion. Here's a rundown -
  • After a flight of about 30 hours, we'll arrive in Atlanta on Thursday around 4:00 PM
  • BBQ at Fox Bros with family and friends that evening.
  • Drive to Tuscaloosa on Friday morning, lunch with the Dean of Students (who has been a wonderful friend to us and Brien - I hope A&M has someone like him).
  • Graduation on Saturday then drive back to Atlanta
  • Sunday morning taking Melissa to the airport to fly to San Antonio and then drive to College Station to see her mom who hasn't been well.
  • Monday, appointment at Emory to get tested for TB and get a flu shot.
  • Tuesday my daughter and I catch a 6:00 am flight to SA to visit my 90 year old mom who's in a New Braunfels nursing home and suffering dementia - she may not know us. Melissa will meet us in New Braunfels. Dinner (Mexican food) that evening with friends from our home church in SA.
  • Wednesday morning, go stand in line at 5:00 am for tamales to take back to Atlanta. More Mexican food for breakfast and dinner. Late afternoon flight back to Atlanta arriving around 9:30 pm.
If we're still standing after that. things will slow down a bunch and we can play with our grandkids. We'll start our journey back home on 12/27, with Brien coming along for his first trip to Africa. In addition to visiting Lundazi, we'll take in South Luangwa National Park and Victoria Falls, before he heads back home, to a job we hope.

By the way, the past few weeks have been pretty hectic as rainy season has arrived and we've been planting soybeans and groundnuts at Chasefu. We got a new fangled, high tech planter to use this year. Here's a few pics

Please keep us in your prayers as we travel and the folks we partner with here in Zambia, too. We'll do the same for you as you travel and spend time with loved ones.
