I made it to Freetown



This is a pic of the London airport for Kayla.


I just wanted everyone to know that I made it okay. Dad, I tried to text you from Chelsea's phone. I hope it worked. You really can text back a couple times if you want to. She said it isn't too expensive. I spent the last couple of days all over the place: Atlanta to London to Freetown and then we had to take a helicopter to actually get to the main Freetown. That was exciting. It's been fun talking to people so far. Everyone can speak English well enough for us to understand eachother and they're nice about trying to help you learn Krio too. We'll be in the city for tomorrow and I'll help Chelsea pick up spme supplies and run to her headquarters and see her apartment and get a lapa (skirt) made. I have a busy day but thankfully the jet lag isn't too bad. Wow, I've only been in Freetown for a few hours and I already have too many stories to tell to say it on here. So- I'm safe, healthy and very excited! Happy New Year to everyone!

Lindsay - It's Dad. I didn't receive your text message, so that little technological advance might not work properly. So glad to hear you're there safely. We're notifying family so they will all know. We're praying for you constantly and will be so excited to hear of your adventures when you return to Tennessee. Have a great time and take hundreds of pictures to share.
