We're here!!!

PRAISE THE LORD.... we made it safely to Windhoek, Namibia around 1 pm here and around 6 or 7 am Memphis time. I just wanted everyone to know that we made it here safely. It really is amazing to think that we just flew half way across the world in the past few days.. CRAZY! We are all a little exhausted and jet lagged. So just pray for strength. Thankfully we have orientation this weekend... which should be a good time for us to relax and gain some strength.

Namibia is beautiful.. it really is desert land though. It makes me feel like I am in the Lion King though. :-) The Rineer family is the missionary family we are working with. They are so great! And their kids are adorable. I look forward to getting to know them and serving with them. Thank you again for all your prayers! I can definately feel them. God Bless each of you!!! I am so excited what the Lord has in store!

  2. Rachel,
    I just wanted you to know that I will be praying for you as you are serving in Namibia. I admire your courage, and I know that everyone you meet will see God's love in you (I know I do!). It sounds like such a cliche, but I know God is going to do great things through you! I am just so glad I found your blog so I can keep up!
