I made it!

After 5 flights and over 48 hours of either sitting on a plane or trying to pass time in an airport (I had a 12 hour layover in Paris!), I finally made it to Zambia. I left my apartment at 5:00 am Wednesday morning, and walked off the plane in Zambia on Friday at about 6:30 am Oklahoma time, which is 1:30 pm here in Zambia (7 hour time difference). I didn't actually make it to my parents' home until 6 pm, since we had to run errands in town before driving an hour and a half to Namwianga Mission where my parents live outside of a small town called Kalomo.
Although the traveling was difficult and tiresome, it was worth it to be back here in a place I love so much, and to get those hugs from my parents that I've missed for so long!
