The Constant Traveller

Jordan is finally today on his way home!! We chatted for a while last night and, while he did tell me a few things about his last full day in Burundi, I couldn't get too much out of him. All he wanted to talk about was coming home. It was great to see all the houses under construction, and I guess where they are being built is right across the river from Congo, so he said Dave and he took a picture themselves with Congo in the background. If they had actually stepped foot in Congo, they would have literally been in seven countries in two weeks! And actually, I think Dave is stopping in Rwanda, so he would have been in eight countries in two weeks! That's madness!!

He said he took tons of photos of all the houses under construction, but after seeing so many, it became overwhelming and kind of boring. It was great, he said, but eventually tired of it and said he needed a nap. I think by that time, a nap would be very justifiable - especially after everything they have been through these past two weeks. The constant travellers.

But now he is on his way home! Finally!! I will see him tomorrow (as long as he makes all his flights), and I can't wait! So, I guess that's it for now. I'll try to get him to post some more stories of his trip, and for sure some pictures when he gets them edited. Thanks again for the prayers - keep em comin' until he gets home on time and not too exhausted! He does have to go back to work on Thursday...no longer a constant traveller...
