From Heathrow

I am posting this from Heathrow airport in London, England. This is the furthest I have ever been from home. I left Montreal last night at about 8:00 pm EST, and we arrived at 7:15 am in London, local time. It was a six hour flight altogether. I am impressed with the way that British Airways runs their airline. It was a fairly pleasant experience. I was seated with a group of students from a private high school in Montreal on their way to a tour of Europe.

Now I'm waiting to see which gate my flight to Nairobi boards from. It is scheduled to leave in about an hour and a half, so I thought I'd spring for an hour of online time while I'm waiting.

The flight is due to arrive at 9:20 this evening. So I will try not to sleep, or at least limit my rest to short naps, which isn't normally a problem for me. I've been awake now for about 22 hours, so I hope I can last another 10 or so. I picked up a Sudoku book in Montreal, but so far it has had the effect of making me more drowsy, rather than perking me up!

Then I hope that I will be alert enough by Friday so that I can do all the work that Peter Llkayo has prepared for me to do as well as to preach in Baalah on Saturday.

I don't think I'll have access to wireless network in Nairobi, so my reporting may be quite sporadic from now on. Howard Carlson said he has quite a good connection which I can use, and I understand that he lives fairly close to the College. Now, if we will just be able to get our schedules co-ordinated...
