Ready for Uganda?

It's currently 7:35pm and our team will be leaving in less than 5 hours for Atlanta. We'll fly from Atlanta to D.C.; D.C. to Rome, Italy; Rome to Addis Ababba, Ethiopia; AA to Entebbe, Uganda. Pastor Dave Eby will be meeting us at the Entebbe Airport to take us to Kampala around 2:15pm there time, 4:15am our time.

The team has been running around today like crazy getting last minute items. Nobody's too sure of what we will and will not have there, so the majority of us may have overpacked. Some of our team member's ran into a girl today at a wedding that has not only been to Uganda, but has also stayed with the Eby's! She said that she loves it there and can't wait to go back, to sit at Pastor Dave's feet and take notes on everything he says, to avoid most vegetables (she got a parasite last time!), and that many missionaries have lived in Uganda for exactly three years so they can qualify for adoption rights to bring back a Ugandan child! The kids there are awesome!

The day after we get to the capital (Kampala), we'll head out to a village called Kagadi for seven days. I tell you this for your prayers, but also to let you know that we probably won't have internet access during that time so wait until around July 8th to check back on here for some stories of what's going on!


Steph excited that her luggage finally weighs
less than 50 lbs. Jenna's not as excited.
