Our friends from Botswana, Doug and Deb Hammes, finally arrived in Macha after an extended stay in the border city of Livingstone. There were problems dealing with customs and immigration...so they were delayed and their car was impounded. You never know what is going to happen when crossing a border here in Africa. Perhaps the immigration officer just did not have his morning cup of coffee that day or maybe he was just bored and wanted a little excitement. Whatever the reason, they chose to make things very difficult for Doug and Deb.
Initially they had to leave their car and belongings behind. Then they traveled by taxi to Macha (Yes, by taxi! who knew you could get her that way!!).
Finally after 2 weeks of prayer and patience, their car and belongings were released and they are now able to get settled into their new home in Macha.Doug works for Flying Mission and will be the 1st full time FM employee in Macha. Deb will be teaching and helping with the school. It is truly the Lords timing on all of this, as Mid Sakala has just left on maternity leave. Deb will be able to take over while Mid is gone.
After all the difficulties over the past couple of weeks, Doug and Deb finally get to join us for a relaxing dinner at the Macha Vision Cafe.
