A brief email update from the Reeces in Africa:

Dear Brothers,

Well, the Reeces have arrived in Africa! And yes, ALL our luggage arrived too - amazing! Both airlines (American and British Air) let my one overweight bag slide without the $45 fee.

Our second day layover in London was spent sightseeing near Big Ben and touring Westminster Abbey. We were given a personal escort to David Livingstone's tomb since that area was closed in preparation for a concert. Brothers, if any of you have to overnight in London, you MUST check out the Highbury Centre which was recommended to us. What a place of refuge and rest for weary travelers.

The second flight was as pleasant as the first, and I couldn't be happier with our girls being first time flyers. God has given incredible grace - I don't feel nervous or afraid at all. There is quiet peace, tired excitement, and the occasional shock when I realize again that we're here to stay. We're still fighting the last remnants of jet-lag, but tomorrow we should be mostly adjusted. Then Friday we head off to finalize gear and load vehicles for the big drive.

We love and miss you all, and can feel your prayers.

In His hands,
Sean
