We Made It!!!!


We are packed and ready to go.  We, (our Lesotho traveling group) consists of Whitney & Lindsey Wagner, Dale & Glenda Vander Tuig, Dawn Verkaik, Doug Spoelstra, Norma Greenfield, Denise Kouwe & Cindy Bishop were all set and ready to go this past Thursday night and headed out to LAX where we boarded a plane to visit Beautiful Gate in Lesotho, Africa.


We traveled from LAX to JFK, which was about a 5 hour flight and then from JFK to Johannesburg, South Africa which was a 15 hour flight.  On that long, long flight, we watched movies, worked Sudoku puzzles, read, ate at all hours of the night, and tried to sleep.






After landing in Johannesburg, we hopped on a smaller plane and flew into Maseru, Lesotho, which is the capital.  Bryan Geurink and another gentleman, Allan, that works at Beautiful Gate, picked us up from the airport.  All our luggage made it, except for mine (Dawn).  As of now, I still don't have my suitcase!  Please pray!  We'll keep you posted!  Other than that, we're having a great time!

  1. So glad you made it safely. And I'm sure there are lots of people praying now for your luggage to make it, Dawn! Praise God for the internet, eh?! :) Hope you are having (or had) an amazing Sunday!
