Stuck in Senegal

Well, first we didn't have tickets when we got to Columbia because someone thought we had e-tickets AND someone else forgot to mention the tickets were safely secured in the safe at the church. But, God made it work and we got off on our trip without delay.

 

However, we are now stuck here in Dakar, Senegal because of a plane malfunction.  Delta has put us in a hotel on the other side of the city and we are not sure when the plane will be ready to head to South Africa.  We have heard that a mechanic is enroute from Atlanta (Delta) to repair the plane and we now think 3am is the departure.  We were just told we might leave the hotel at 9pm local time (it's 8am on the East Coast in the USA, Friday morning) and fly out some time after midnight.  So, pray with focus for the mechanic and a smooth departure from Senegal.  We are on the coast looking at the ocean, the 1 hr ride from the airport to the hotel was an eye-opener for many.  It's trips like these that really make you appreciate clean streets and basic security.  But, other than tired and a little slap happy we are fine and safe and God is in control.  That's easy to say when you can't do anything and have no idea what is going on.  But, our mission is to be here and we will take it as it comes.  We will post more when we get to Botswana!
