Finally we are in Namibia!

After 2 1/2 long days of travel we arrived in Windhoek, Namibia yesterday (Wed.). Our luggage decided to take a different trip and did finally show up this evening. We are trying to adjust to the time change (6 hrs ahead of AL) and the altitude change of 6000 ft. The weather is beautiful during the day (65 degrees) and cold at night (upper 30s and 40s) with clear skies all the time. We have been meeting lots of wonderful people from St. George's Cathedral. Their hospitality has been overwhelming. We are trying to get some rest before the big weekend of Jeremy and the Dean's instillation on Sunday. They say the service may be around 3 hours long. We will try and post more updates and some photos as soon as we can. Blessings,Penny

Last Post from the U.S.

Well tonight we are staying in the Sheraton Hotel at the Atlanta Airport and tomorrow morning we begin our 2 1/2 day journey to Namibia. We have spent this week saying goodbye to family and friends. It has been a very difficult week. Please keep us in your prayers as we begin this next part of our journey. Our next post will be from Africa. Peace, Jeremy

5 Days Left

Well after two weeks of Mission Orientation and Training in New York we are back in Alabama for our last week of goodbyes. It is wierd watching the 7 day weather forcast and thinking that next Monday we won't even be in this country. At this point we have passed the point of exhaustion and are running on pure momentum. Hopefully it will get us there and we can take a few days to rest once we arrive. I promise that our posts will become more frequent once we slow down. Peace, Jeremy

Quick Update

This morning Penny and I are on our way to NYC for Mission Orientation. We will be in NYC until the 16th. Yesterday we sold our last large item, our car, at a yard sale. This is the second time we have sold a car at a yard sale and we are really happy to have that out of the way.
On another note some people have been asking me for our address in Namibia. So far this is what we have; Our physical address is 19 Love Street Windhoek, Namibia (no zip codes in Namibia) we don't know what our PO Box will be because there is no local mail delivery in Namibia, we will have to pick up anything send via USPS. You will also need a phone number, which we do not have yet, to mail the package. DHL is also an option but very expensive. You could also mail things to St. George's Anglican Cathedral PO Box 65 Windhoek, Namibia. We should have access to that fairly soon.
Anyway, keep us in your prayers. We are trying to write thank you notes as quickly as we can but there are lots so if you haven't gotten one, and you have contributed to our cause please know how much we appreciate it and we will be thanking you personally as soon as we can.
Until then you can check out our new website hosted but the Diocese of Alabama http://missiontonamibia.dioala.org We are still working on it and Deacon Dave Drachlis is the rock star behind it. We can not thank you enough Dave.
We will be in touch as soon as possible. Peace, Jeremy
