Jersey is Jersey (and Pictures!)

So it is 4am EST and we are in the New Jersey airport waiting for our connecting flight home. We are VERY tired, but very excited about getting home and seeing our families!
We were supposed to be staying in a hotel for a few hours last night/this morning, but the hotel we had reservations with stranded us at the airport with no shuttle and refused to pay the cab fair for us to take an alternate method to their hotel. So instead of a few hours sleep in a hotel bed, we are taking turns napping on the FREEZING tile floor in Newark airport with an insanely loud computer generated voice telling people not to leave their baggage unattended screaming through the halls every 4-5 minutes. Though not ideal, we are loving the time together in the airport.
Thank you all for praying for us - God answered mightlily!!!! We saw God open the hearts of over 55 Maasai people unto salvation, we baptized 11, witnessed several men commit their lives and families to the Lordship of Christ and witnessed the birth of the new church in the Maasai area! Praise God! So many blessings!!!
Here are some pics from the trip (now that we have a faster internet connection I am finally able to upload pictures)... enjoy!!
