That's right everyone we just got off our first flight and are now in Dubai! Story time. We got off out plane at 8pm on May 30 and looking at out tickets I realized that next flight was scheduled to take off at 8:25. We were in a rush. We hurried to one of those big boards that tells us the gate number and departure time for all the flights. We found Entebbe and it said gate 214 so we followed all the signs. Upon arriving at the gate we asked someone to make sure that we were in the right place. The man we asked said that flight was going to India.... With this good news and not feeling the least bit stressed with our now 15 min window we looked for someone who knew what they were doing. We soon found ourselves at and information desk where the girl working looked up our flight for us and these were her words,, "your flight doesn't leave till tomorrow." What is the moral of the story you ask, in addition to your time, always look at the date on your ticket...
Regardless, your prayers are truly appreciated. We have had no problems with luggage and travel has been smooth. One more flight and we are in Africa!!

Single Digits!

Its official we are leaving in 9 days now! yes! I am now finished with school for the semester so I should have more energy to focus on preparing and tying up loose ends in these last few days before we depart. One HUGE blessing is that we were able to find a house! I will be living in a 4 bedroom house in Kigali with the team. We are amped. We are affirmed. We are blessed. Thank you all for your prayers thus far and thank you in advance for your continued prayers.

No Turing Back Now!

So this week we bought our tickets!!! This process has been stressful at times but it has also been AMAZING to see the money come in to the point where this is possible and to all of you who have donated i say a most sincere thank you. That thank you also extends to those who have been praying for us as we prepare to take on this summer. We could never have done this without all your support.
Below you will find our itinerary!!

We start in LAX and 22hrs and 15min later (if all goes according to plan) we will land in Entebbe, Uganda thus beginning our adventure!
Financially we have come a long way but we still have a ways to go. At this point your prayers are coveted. Again, I cant thank all of you enough for what you have done for us!

till we meet again,
