28 Hours of Travel

Welp, the journey has officially begun! Although...in my opinion, the journey truly began once I found out that I had received the, "Yes," on Uganda and God had begun the prep to get me ready. So, quite honestly, I'm glad I made it :) After 5.5 months of prep it feels pretty nice to be able to be at my destination.

Traveling was great! I had many words given to me that God would place people all along my trip to help & guide me. Sure enough He did! It was actually kind of fun to experience it.

For instance:

1: I traveled with a group of people my age the whole time!

2: I sat with a gentleman that shared his peanut butter cookies with me (my favorite)! And ended up moving to the seat in front of my so we both had 2 seats to ourselves.

3: In Belgium (where I was running late due to a my flight being delayed in Chicago) I was in an incredibly long security line. The security line next to me just "happen" to open up and I was the first in line & first of the group through security.

....there was a long ways to get to my next gate. So, as I followed the signs through halls, around corners, down stairs and more long hallways I walked into another big area where I was hoping my gate would be.

4: Right as I stepped foot in a man that worked at the airport was right there and asked which flight I was on. After telling telling him, he told me to get on the shuttle that was leaving in a few minutes. I had time to sit & relax and watch everyone else run, looked freaked out, and worry that we weren't going to make it.

Then...I made it to my gate and the flight was delayed...haha!

5: And to wrap up the God moments I got to sit by a girl my age on my flight to Entebbe (who I didn't get to talk to much due to language barrier), but we both relaxed, laughed, and watched movies. She was great!

6: I arrived at the airport, purchased my visa, was happy to see my luggage had made it, and sighed a sigh of relief because I did not have to go through customs!

So, I made it! I'm jet lagged, but happy to be here. Excited to get to know the Earwickers and serve along side of them. I'll post more later. In the mean time, thank you for praying, supporting, & encouraging. I appreciate it more than you know.
