On the ground in Mada

Will has landed safely in Antananarivo (Tana), the capitol of Madagascar.  Uneventful flights, thankfully, but long nonetheless!! About 22 hours of flying...and they still have about a 12 hr. car ride tomorrow to get down to where they're going to be for the week, the city of Manakara.  Will is going to try to email pictures and videos as he has access to internet, but it may happen until he is stateside again. I will do my best to keep you posted as I hear word from him. 
Prayer request: Will's cornea was scratched the Sunday before he left (last Sunday) by our daughter and was using medicine on it, and was supposed to take it for the next 10 days.  The meds ended up being left behind in the flurry to get him to the airport, so please pray specifically for healing of his eye in the absence of the meds. 
Also, please pray for rest for the group, and Will specifically.  He said that he didn't sleep much on the entire flight, and was exhausted.  He doesn't always deal well with a lack of sleep, so please pray that he will be able to rest and assimilate to the time change (they're 7 hours ahead of us). They will be doing quite a bit of traveling throughout their week, so please also pray for safety on the roads for the group.
Thank you for your continued prayers!  The girls are doing great here, and we are all missing daddy very much.   I deal a bit with fear of being alone (it's weird how you get used to ALWAYS having someone around!), and Bella keeps asking "Where's daddy?"  Tonight when we pulled into the house, she saw Will's car and said, "Oh! Daddy's home!", and I had to tell her that no, he wasn't going to be home for a few days.  Her poor little two year old mind can't quite comprehend what's going on!
We love you all, and I look forward to updating you throughout the week.
Jenn (for Team Korver!)
