On our way...

JFK Airport with our 16 pieces of luggage

Greetings from JFK in New York. We have spent a fun 24 hours here with our friends the Sequeiras - Went into Manhattan this morning for Breakfast, see the Statue of Liberty etc. A great last day in the country. We board our flight to South Africa in about 2 hours and all of us feel great. A bit like jumping of a cliff into water, we've started the free fall and now we just enjoy the ride.

Thanks to many of you reading this for the wonderful send-off we experienced this last month. All of us, including the kids, could not feel more loved or supported in this journey.

As my brother in law Brad often reminds me, the scriptures are clear that we can be together even when we are apart - joined in the Spirit. We feel that connection as we go. Thanks for your prayers that have sent us off and even more for your prayers as we settle in.

We'll spend Tuesday night in jo'burg and then fly on to Lusaka on Wednesday. We'll be in touch from there as soon as we can.

thankful,

The Dykstra Fam
