Owerri 14



We landed in Atlanta safely.  The flight was 12 ½ hours – a direct flight.  I installed my battery in my cell phone so I could call Audrey – a very welcome sound on the other end.

There was no trip to Germany and Chicago this time – praise God!  Getting through US customs was easier than ever.  They must be scanning a lot.  The first thing everyone went for was the coffee.  It tasted very good and the breakfast sandwich wasn’t bad either.  Jonathan and Zach left us: Zach to his parents in Atlanta and Jonathan to his aunt who was going to give him a ride to Knoxville.  By the way, we are very proud of Dr. Zach Cohen.  He begins his residency at Emory Hospital in Atlanta - a great honor and tops on his list.  A lot of people would like to do their residency there, but only a few get to.  “Many are called but few are chosen.”  I wonder how long he will keep his hair (you must see the pictures).

We boarded the last plane on this trip – or so we thought.  Then there was a mechanical problem.  People complained, but we didn’t.  James said “Yeah, that’s just God answering prayer to keep us safe.  I’ll gladly get on another plane.”  So, we did – then we were off to Savannah.  We landed and then began our walk into the terminal led by High Chief Dr. Kennedy Keleche Okere.  At the end of our walk was a crowd of family and Jesus kin waiting with open arms.  What a welcome sight!  God lets us experience a little bit of heaven just to keep us in anticipation. The celebration spilled over into the baggage claim.  A brief prayer meeting with last words from Dr. Okere and we left for home sweet home – real sleep in a real bed.
