The number 40 in our Bible has implications of testing and transition. Not that our 40 hours travelling to Sudan will go down in history with the Israelites 40 years in the desert or Jesus' 40 days of trial. Never-the-less, it has been a test, and we are on a journey. We were up before the sparrows yesterday, only to spend 9 hours at Perth airport. Ros worked her charm with the staff at Malaysia Airlines and we were upgraded to business class for the flight to KL. Here we are in Dubai, enjoying yum cha breakfast and watching a spectacular sunrise - which would be all the more enjoyable if we werent meant to be on a flight to Addis Ababa and then on to Juba! Customs took a while to clear all our medical equipment and we missed the flight. We plan to spend the night here and fly tomorrow, getting to Juba on Thursday and Aweil on Friday. We've had a few hours sleep between us in the last 2 days, so a comfortable Dubai hotel will be welcome - in spite of not being where we wanted.
Despite this change of plans, everything has been shaping up well for the work we hope to accomplish in Sudan. We will keep you updated.
