Leaving Abuja

The team got to the airport on time (Nigeria time), made it through customs and immigration with no trouble at all. It is a full flight from Abuja to JFK (a change from the flight over during which everyone had their own row to lay down and sleep). It was sad to say goodbye to all of the boys and Sisters after Mass this morning but we are happy to come home to our families and some comfort food! There have been some awesome takeaways from our experiences that we're excited to share with Nativity in a few weeks. Also, we are immensely thankful for all of the support and prayers - during reflection last night the team noted that there wasn't one day that went by without at least one great thing happening. The team is all sitting next to each other on the return voyage (not sure anybody else would want to sit with our fragrant team anyway) and planning to watch as many movies as possible.
