I'm Home

Apr 25, 2007 16:20

Ah, what a whirlwind I've been through! Home again. So strange, after living third world for a month. I left Zambia at 7:30am Monday morning and finally dragged my suitecase through the door of my home in Baltimore yesterday at 3:30pm. I spent 35 hours traveling!! That includes a 9-hour layover in South Africa, a 17 hour flight to the States, and ( Read more... )

Thanks! - and a question reflected_light April 26 2007, 17:50:30 UTC

Thank you so much - I LOVE getting new music!

It looks like I've missed something though - what's this website for? What "tragic events" happened at Virginia Tech? :(

Wow, Rita, I'm sorry to have to be the one to mention it. It still gives me goosebumps to even talk about it, but Monday a week ago (on April 16th) a depressed college student killed 32 people (including professors) on campus. Here's my post on it. http://bravobevo.livejournal.com/2007/04/23/

Welcome back! I talked to Emily. She was jet-lagged too. I think she's going back to work today (26th). I can't wait to see all the photos she's taken.

I haven't had a chance to really rest since my plane landed... because of my extended stay in Zambia I couldn't afford to take one more day off of work. But God is giving me a capacity for it all, and it's really nice to be greeted so warmly by all my coworkers. :) They really missed me. :) And last night at church was so nice! I just kept looking around at all the faces I hadn't seen in four weeks. I had an amazing time in Zambia and South Africa but at the same time it's great to be home again. I feel like I've had my vision for life refreshed. :)

Hello sweet Rita,
Been thinking of you and praying for you. It's good to see you're home safe. ♥

welcome back.

I had to deliver some medical equipment in baltimore and drove right past your church.

Aw, you were so close! :) If you ever come by again and have some advance warning, let me know, it would be nice to meet you. :)

I hope you're doing well! God bless ~

Unfortunately, I never have advance warning. I show up and they say, go here, and I go. I remind myself of the guys working for the centurion whose servant Jesus healed. :)

If you are going to be passing northward toward Philadelphia, or out toward Chambersburg, send up a rocket and we'll see what the schedules like.
(I've been reading about old-timey shipwrecks, hence the rocket reference)
