Greetings from Beira!


We arrived yesterday evening a little late after a very bumpy flight from Johannesburg. The weather on arrival was rain & thunderstorms - which stopped after we landed. After some questions about our medical kit in Corinne's case we were allowed through and eventually got our passports back. We enjoyed meeting and greeting Pastor Bonga, Boniface and some other YWAM base leaders who are in Beira for the annual conference today and tomorrow (led by Jan van Stetten).
After transporting our case in one vehicle and 10 of us (including Boniface & Pastor Bonga) in PB's car - very bumpy on the road back to Beira. Then we met Augusto, Simao, Joanna, Dorcas, Rebekah and others for food and a drink before taking the 5 to the Infanta Hotel round the corner. All of us were very tired after our long flights and ready for an early night - this morning, most of us were wakened by the Muslim call to prayer at 4.15!
This morning we have breakfasted and walked around the local banks looking for ATMs which work with Cirrus/Maestro and landed at the Standard Bank. Attached is a photo of us all outside Beira Airport.
