Still waiting for our luggage

Abidjan – Again! Our luggage didn?t come in last night. Supposedly it came as far as Accra, but the flight from Accra to Abidjan didn?t come last night ? not an unusual occurrence out here. The frustrating thing is that we don?t really know if they know where our luggage is or if they are just telling us what they think we want to hear.

So here we sit in Abidjan with very little to do. We are thankful for the guesthouse apartment we are staying in. It has a kitchen, so we?ve been able to cook some things.

I guess we are getting some days of relaxation that we didn?t know we needed, even if there is the tension of not knowing about our luggage. I washed some things out by hand today, but with the humidity the way it is, I?m not sure they will dry by tomorrow. Now Bob is thankful for the last-minute pieces of clothing I forced in our bags!

Please continue to pray that our luggage makes it. By Tuesday, I think we?ll head up to Bouak? without it. When ? and if ? it comes, we?ll have to make another trip down here or have it brought up by others who have room.
