Arrivial in Kadiolo!

Finally, arrival in Kadiolo. This is the first time we've been able to be back since Lisa went to the hospital in Bamako.

This is the bus we rode yesterday.

A few of you have ridden the bus with us. Emily for sure, and Pastor Mike probably won't forget his trip in the near future. Sometimes you get a good one, though. :D
And this was a good one. We made really good time on the way to Sikasso. The road was in good repair for most of the trip. Then from Bougani to Nienna, it was sometimes better off the road than on it. That is how africa can be, though.

We arrived in Sikasso with all our luggage intact. I was concerned about finding a ride to Kadiolo. But a taxi guy was available. So we loaded up with him. Caleb thought it was the worst car he'd ever seen! It may have been. :D

Anyway, we were so pleased to arrive back home. Jonas gave us big hugs, Bamba came over from next door, beaming smiles everywhere. Pastor Youssouf came and we had a good "catch-up" talk.
Our two silly dogs remembered us, and were happy. Ocho apparantly had 2 puppies last week. So while that is inconvienient, the kids are enjoying them, too.

A nice welcome home.

Thanks for all your prayers that carried us through to this point.

Tom & Lisa
