TWO MORE DAYS!!! The Adventure Begins

TODAY>>>> MONDAY....

So excited about the trip. Today we purchased a piano keyboard for the church in Malabo. Our Church is giving an acoustic guitar and a mandolin. I will have to pay overwieght for the extra baggage. They only allow one bag for non-revenue passengers. What this means, is that since a very kind person, who works for the airlines is allowing me to fly on the buddy pass the company gives them for a few friends or relatives, there are a few limitations on the luggage or you must pay. You can pray though, that the agent lets me go without having to pay the extra, they can overide this measure.... PRAY!!!

Here is my "tentative" schedule. I say tentative because only the Lord knows what will really transpire.... But here is a basic outline of events....

However, if delayed, will travel to other towns on Bioko Island and visit some of the congregations that have been started, since we came to the US 3 yrs ago.
