Leaving Bangui

So, it is Thursday and I get to go home today.  I leave at 10:15 PM on Thursday night and land in Indianapolis at 7:22 PM on Friday night.  It took me about 3 days to get here and about 24 hours to get back…amazing.  I am glad the way home is the shorter path.

 

It has been a long trip.  I am ready to be home.  I think my mind is reeling with perceptions and business stuff.  These last few days have been a blur.  Trying to make sure everything is finished up, that I have communicated everything to the Bangui accountant, and helping with internet connections.  Which for those who really know my computer abilities, it is a joke that I am considered on of the experts in getting the satellite internet connections working. 

 

One of the main things I have noticed through the whole African experience, is that the African’s are really just like us they just speak a different language and have different experiences.  Sometimes it is hard to realize the similarities when you are struggling with translations.  I am sure that when I get home I will have a few more thoughts and time to formulate myself.  So, for know I will say thank you to all those who have prayed for me and read my blog.  Please keep me in your prayers as I am tired right now and I will be up for the next day traveling…I will be so tired.

 

By the way, I called my mother the other day and then I told an African that I had just finished talking with my mother.  He then proceeded to ask if next time I talk with her if he could then speak to his future mother-in-law.  I laughed.  I just meet him the day before and then he was informing me that we were going to get married.  I asked him about the local African woman and he told me he likes American’s better…ugh!  They have such a romantic way of sweeping you off your feet….
