Working Our Way Back Stateside

The day began rather early as Roland had a meeting with the World Bank in Freetown requiring us to be in the road by 7AM.  

After dropping him off, his driver, Eddie took us to the Family Kingdom hotel which has a variety of smaller wildlife including deer, cats, some kind of bird, and frogs.  There is a nice playground for kids and beautiful pool.  Nabs met us there and gave us a dress and a shirt the bishop’s wife had made for Alaina and Dave, respectively.  We went to the UMC house where we got to meet with the bishop and thanked him for the gifts and all he is doing for the church and the people of Sierra Leone.  We said our goodbyes after Rev. Fallah prayed as we circled together and held hands.  Nabs got to give some training there.  

Eddie picked us up took us to the #2 River beach where we got to relax a bit and got some swimming in before heading back to the hotel to get cleaned up before dinner at the Lagunda restaurant overlooking the Man o’ War bay.  It was a wonderful evening!

The next day, Roland and Eddie picked us up and we had breakfast at the Crown bakery.  Unfortunately, they did not have any coconut macarons!  Roland had picked up a couple gifts for us to deliver for some folks Stateside which we packed while getting things ready at the Seacoach speedboat launch.  

We met a couple in the Lungi airport who are long term missionaries in Sierra Leone that have parents who were born in Michigan but became missionaries in Sierra Leone in the ‘70’s and stayed.  Small world!

Looking forward to getting back home and sharing the story!
