Dispatches: New regulations slow us down

We made connections in London with the other members of our team, Ken and Linda Hall from Buckner; Jay and Paige Chastain from Longview; and Steve Akin and Kyle and Cindy Henderson from Athens.
Most of us didn't know in advance that British Airways changed its security regulations last week. Now the airline only allows one carry-on bag per passenger˜not two, as we expected. That meant most of us were pulled out of line and had to check bags. It slowed us down a bit, but we still made our flight to Nairobi in plenty of time.
We had another lengthy flight, but this time nearly all of us slept much of the time. Exhaustion is taking over. We arrived in Nairobi before 9:30 p.m., and we were met by Dickson, who heads up all the Buckner work in Kenya. After we retrieved our bags—well, all but one of Susan Bush's, which didn't make it—we loaded vans and and headed to the Holiday Inn. We were in our rooms by about midnight. Tomorrow will be a full day as we go to the Baptist Children's Center.
