We're here! After 4 flights, 3 customs checks, and one amazing midnight drive through Uganda we are finally here after only 28 hours. The most exciting part of the trip had to be running through the Atlanta airport trying to catch our first international flight to Amersterdam! We got off the train and started running and we were the last ones on the plane before they shut the door. All our bags made it as well as the couple bags of stuff we brought for the Skinners to leave here. We had a great driver named Billy who drove the 45 minute drive from the airport to the AIM house. He was great, but driving at night, on the wrong side of the road, with no street lights, motorcycles zipping around you like crazy, and people walking on the road lends itself to a pretty adventurous drive!
All that to say, we are so glad to be here and so grateful God has give us this opportunity. It is so worth it. I was so glad to get to wrap my arms around Joel and give him a big hug. Joy had to push us to bed so that we could get some sleep, otherwise we would have kept talking for a while.
So...there are plenty of praises to go around. Glory to God!
Tomorrow we will wake up, eat breakfast, and head to Mbarara. Joel said it should take about 3 hours now that the roads have been fixed. It used to take him 6 hours when they first came several years ago. Insert another praise here!
Thank you all for your prayers and thoughts
