Hello from LONDON

I am sitting in the new Terminal #5 at Heathrow Airport and in a couple hours we will board our 11 hour British Airways flight to Johannesburg, South Africa...we had a good flight over and many of us actually got some good sleep (although not the case for all I am sorry to report)

We spent several hours today taking the "Tube" into downtown London and seeing some of the historical sites before eating lunch outside on a beautiful British afternoon on the steps of the National Art Gallery...

Travel like this gets exceedingly long at times...at this point, you just want to get to Africa...it has been fun wearing our shirts and being able to share the story of why we are going to Zambia with almost everyone we run into...

I am really excited to get to see the Apartheid Museum and hear what World Vision is up to in South Africa along with a shower and a bed for the first time in a couple days at our hotel...

Thanks for your prayers for health and safety and rest as we get ready for why we have really come in the days to come...

Hope all is well in Chicago...hope to give you a report on our day in South Africa before heading to Zambia on Thursday morning...

With our Love and Prayers, CHIP
