Hey friends,
Just wanted to get a quick message out to you that we’ve arrived safely in Windhoek, Namiba. We’ll be spending the night in the “Windhoek Lodge” and heading out in the morning to the coast. It’s about a 3 hour drive. We’ll meet up with missionaries Mark & Kim Gardener and spend some tourist time in the city of Swakop. We’ll visit Dune 7 (the second largest sand dune in the world) and do a little walking through the town. It will be a nice relaxing day before our ministry schedule kicks in on Wednesday.
The time difference is 6 hours ahead for us, so while it’s 1:00 pm for you guys it’s 7:00 pm here. For those of you hoping for calls from your family you can expect them at the end of the day for us so that would be around 3-5:00 pm for you guys.
We’re getting ready to head out for a bite to eat and then early to bed. As you can imagine we’re all pretty wiped out from the trip.
Thanks for all your prayers and comments on the blog already. It’s so awesome to know that so many are a part of this journey from a distance. I hope to get a handful of pictures up there tonight. We’ll see how well this internet connection holds up. It’s pretty slow right now, but I’m thankful that we have it.
Love you all,
PE

Sheena, it was SO great to hear from you today!! Sorry we lost you. Maddi said I "hogged" the phone (I said I didn't, but I know I did :) anyway, I love you and miss you (please give Jul and Court a hug for me and have them hug you back.)
I am so excited for your team to do great things. I pray that these next weeks are life-changing for everyone involved. Go out and shine the light! :)

Hellooo Africa team!
So happy to hear you all are safe and didn't lose any bags!
Swakop was my favorite town to walk around in, it's so cute! So make sure to have a good time. Courtney, you've been gone for less than a day and I already have the craziest story to tell you and it's killing me. I hope Chris consumes an entire terminator sandwich in the morning. I can't wait to see pictures. Also I really hope people walking by outside hear a crazy western voice screaming Family Time every night. I love you ALL you are always in our minds and prayers. Now go out there and do what God has called you to do.
MISSY GARVEY
