Mike and Lisa made it to London

Hey Everyone!

I just wanted to give you this update:

I talked with Mike Brady by phone around noon today (Thursday). They were safely in London (where it was 6pm local time), experiencing a layover awaiting their flight to Kenya, and then on to Tanzania. They were doing well, obviously a little shagged out from the trip, but holding up well.

One thing to pray for....Mike was concerned about some possible changes being made to their flight schedules, and how that might affect their arrival time in Tanzania, and their scheduled meeting for pick up with Michael and Joe Joe. At first one flight was cancelled and they were resceduled for a much later time than discussed with the Harringtons, but now it looks like the original flight is back on, so they are back on schedule. Anyway, he's concerned he won't be able to communicate with the Harringtons if things do indeed change. So, pray that all stays on schedule, as is currently the case.

Also, one funny story:

Mike was pulled out of line by security while checking in at the Louisville airport...his bag was searched because, according to the security officer: "These things always look more suspicious on the screen than when we open them up."

"These things" being referred to? Mike had picked up a handful of "Nutrageous" candy bars that Michael loves in the snack shop. He bundled them up and placed them in his bag, and on the security screen they looked like a bomb with wires wrapped around them!

So, please pray for "Mike the Candy Bar Unibomber" that he will be able to better conceal his highly sophisticated "weapons of mass consumption."

Thanks for all your prayers and support for this mission endeavor!

Blessings!
Kevin Thomas
