Peace and Out

This is it, probably our last entry until we are home. I went to the embassy and picked up Davina's passport with her immigration visa in it. She has what thousands wished they had, a visa to the US. We spent the day seeing part of the Congo river from a small picnic area. The river was rather narrow and Congo-Brazzaville is very close.

Davina was pretty tired all day and I think we are all felling the effects of the last week. With the visa in hand, our adrenaline has come down and both Joanna and I are tired in every way. We look forward to the new normal at home and getting to be in our home with Nate (and the dogs).



Francis has been a great brother once again. He has gone above and beyond to help us out, God has used him in a mighty way in this process.

It is strange leaving. It seems like we have been here a very long time and have gotten into somewhat of a routine. Most mornings were lipa and mwampa for Davina while we were getting ready, then off to the morning prayer meeting at Salvation Army headquarters. After, we would go into the "cafeteria" and have eggs, bread and a nice cold coke (all for 600fc each, about $1.20). $2.40 for breakfast is not bad!

Well, that's all I have for now, we have about 30 hours of travel ahead of us and we ned to rest.

Natey, did you see that the Angels beat the Seattle Mariners 6-0? John Lackey pitched a complete game shutout! Only two more sleeps until we are home. I can't wait to see you and give you a big lov'n!

Peace from the DRC: Michael, Joanna & Davina
