The Road to Uganda

             By plane and car we traveled for what seemed like an age.  Day turned to night and night into day, and after that, our bodies gave up trying to feel what time it was any more.  Our bodies lost their circadian rhythms and danced to the beat of turbulence and airline food.                Overall, four of us left Pocatello, Idaho at 6am, and we arrived 40 hours later at 10pm in Jinja, Uganda.  The four of us from Pocatello met up with the rest of our team in Amsterdam.  Finally, the group was united.  What we had only imagined apart became face to face airport greetings.

            Apart from lasting a long time, and I mean a long time, the travel to Uganda went off nearly without a hitch.  The only setbacks were some unplanned checked luggage for Kirsten and some air sickness in a hat for Mark.  The long road to Uganda was as pleasant as could be, and we praise God for His hand of protection and comfort.  Thank God for all that He does for us in His abounding grace and love.

In the love of the Father,
