Arrived in Liberia

Hello Everyone! Welcomes from the hot and sunny Liberia. It is definitely fun and sun in Liberia, where the sun is hot, the mosquitos are hungry, and the people are happy. Both myself and Phil and Karen had interesting trips in Brussels where we met. We have both decided that we are going to avoid Amsterdam in the future! It is a nightmare. My flight out of Indy was delayed due to a girl on the plane sick. After sitting on the runway for an hour they decided to turn around and take her back to the terminal where the paramedics met us. So then we were an hour late getting to Detroit, which was fine for me because I still had 3 hours there. Of course it was like a blizzard in Detroit, so once we did leave it took them over an hour to de-ice the plane. The problem then began with the fact that I only had an hour in Amsterdam before my plane left. So was pretty sure I was going to miss my flight. We did make up some time but we didn't arrive in Amsterdam until 6:30am and my flight was leaving at 7:00am. Once I got through customs, my termial was at the opposite end of the airport. I began to run, and I heard on the intercom Joni Woodlee you are holding up your flight to Brussels. Over and over they announced this until I finally arrived they had to bus me out to the plane. What fun huh? Once I met up with Phil and Karen in Brussels I came to find out that they had a very similar experience in Amsterdam as well. But Thank God we are here. The Kangar's have been very gracious to host me and take care of me so far. We have found some bumps in our road where the government here is conducting a census. They are asking everyone to return to your original village and country to conduct the census. Of course, this doesn't make sense to anyone, but we are trying to deal with it. We are just not sure how accurate we are being at this point due to people scattering. Please continue to pray for us here. We doing great things here, but are feeling the power of the warfare. Satan does not like that we are trying to further the Kingdom here. Pray for strength and courage, and health. I will keep you updated as I am able to here. Thank you all for your comments. It helps me to stay encouraged.
