Africa...at last

17 hours and 40 minutes to Johanesburg. We're in the hotel overnight, and in the morning to Mesuru. I can't believe it. The journey was long but uneventful. I miss all you guys. I'm not sure when I'll get to the internet again. I will write soon.
Love
Merrill

Praise God there were no difficulties. At 5pm our time we were talking about how you were probably flying over the Atlantic! We were talking about your 17+ hour flight. The girls were feeling for you-- they remembered the 15 hour drive to Spokane, WA.

We sent you a letter yesterday, June 4th. It will be interesting to see how long it takes to get there.

We will pray for your quick acclamation to your new environment. I want to know every detail about their cornmeal mush! Ha!

Much Love and Prayers,
The Drakes
