We are almost at the end of a very long journey....or I guess it would be considered more the beginning. It's 9:30am Brussels time, which is 3:30am Sherbrooke time. As usual, I couldn't sleep on the plane. This time because I couldn't get my mind to turn off. It's a good thing I slept well last night.
God continues to amaze us. We arrived at the Montreal airport yesterday with 4 very large suitcases, 2 carry-ons and 2 backpacks. We had checked with Brussels Air and Air Canada in advance and found out we only could take 1 suitcase each unless we wanted to pay $100 per extra bag. When we arrived at check-in, the Air Canada agent asked why we were going to Burkina Faso and Robert explained about our adoption. She waived the fee and didn't charge anything. God is good!
We'll arrive in Ouagadougou at 3:00 in the afternoon where we'll be met by 2 missionaries who have done all the ground work for our adoption in Burkina. First thing to do when we get there is hug their necks. The latest word on Arouna is that he's a little trooper with putting up with all the medical work and vaccinations he's had this last week. He also loves applesauce, bananas and riding in the car. Let's hope he has that same love for airplanes.
It was hard saying goodbyes to the girls yesterday and my parents. I wish they were all able to come along on this adventure. Zach and Lindsey included. I look forward to the day when all 7 of us will be together.
