November 27


Our flight arrived in Brussels at 5:20 am, and the flight to Frankfurt didn't leave until 11 so had over 5 hours to wait. Many of us found a bench for a more comfortable sleep.

We took the short flight to Frankfurt and then rushed through the airport as we only had a short time. When we boarded the flight from Frankfurt to Toronto, they announced it was 8 hours and 40 minutes long. That's the longest flight we have ever been on

We landed in Toronto around 5 in the afternoon, and our next flight didn't leave until 10 that night so again we had a few hours to wait.

Finally in Toronto!

After many hours in airports, you often act a bit goofy!

We landed in Saskatoon at 12:45 am on Monday morning. It had been 32 hours since we left Africa.

What an amazing, incredible experience it has been!
I want to thank all those at home that supported us in fundraising events and supported us in prayer.
I want to thank David and Marianne for all they did to make this trip as amazing as it was.
I want to thank Andrew for his leadership and guidance.
I want to thank my fellow team members for the laughter, the bonding, the sharing and the support for each other every day.
Most of all I want to thank the Lord for leading us on this journey, for keeping us safe in all our adventures and travels, for allowing each of us to serve Him in our own capacity and for teaching us more about His kingdom and His love.
