This is Africa

So after boarding the plane in Amsterdam, I realized I had forgotten my Bible and journal in the airport's waiting area. As soon as I discovered this, I started crying... trying so hard to not lose it. But then the guy next to me asked me if I was ok, and I lost it (at this point, I had been awake for 24 hours). Started sobbing saying, "I lost my Bible!" He wasn't a believer, so I think he thought I was crazy becoming unglued about a lost book! But we ended up having some good conversation, and I was able to share a little bit about the Lord with him. It's crazy how the Lord is already challenging me to trust Him more thus far... and I am sure that is only continue more! And, I had all my letters that many of you wrote, and I was SO encouraged. Plus, you guys provided ample Scripture for me to read while in the plane :) They had me laughing/crying (which probably made the guy next to me think I am even more of an emotional wreck!) But thank you all so much who wrote to me. It was such a blessing to me.

So today, we have just had more on-site training about the culture of Uganda... definitely informing. And then we will leave for Tororo tomorrow morning at 6:00 a.m. We are all so excited to finally be with the kids! But we won't actually start until Monday. We would definitely appreciate prayers for us to be God's vessels, energy, and for Christ's love to pour out of us. Thanks!
