I have heard of people sitting on the tarmac for hours in the plane at an airport but now I empathize with them. I am now one of them. It was only three and one half hours but I thought we might have to stay the night at the airport or go through unloading, loading again, and then wait again. Well, we did have to refuel since we used up a lot of fuel and I was really hunger when they finally gave us a snack of cold, and I mean cold ,like ice . . . wraps with a cookie. I had opted to not eat in the airport knowing that we would get a hot meal on the flight. I was really hunger and wondered how the rest of the flight would be.
Really, after we started, the flight was long but uneventful. We did have to wear our seatbelts alot, even though I wear mine all the time anyway. We had turbulance quite abit of the flight.
I had a lady across the aisle who was not well and was needing a friend. I hope I gave her good advice and gave her some hope. She was going to miss her connecting flight to Bangladesh. She was from the city where my sending church is from, Gainesville, Virginia. We had lots to talk about and I had opportunities to share my faith. She said she would write me an email when she arrived home. Paveer is her name. Pray that she will accept the hope of Christ. She is truly a needy soul.
I have been able to shower, eat, get some strong coffee, freshen up, and catch up on emails during this time in Qatar. I still have a trip of 5 hours to Nairobi and then 5 more hours to Tanzania by car. Long trip!!
It has been a good trip though very long. I am glad most of it is over though, although I still have four hours of waiting for my next plane. Oh, well!! I need to make my "to do" list for Arusha for my arrival at HOME.
Thank you , Lord, for your provision and protection of the last few months and last few days! I am keeping my guardian angels busy!
