One Day Until Departure

Wow, I can’t believe that I leave tomorrow for Uganda. I am excited yet very nervous. It is beginning to sink in that I will be traveling halfway across the world. This is definitely out of my comfort zone. This is a little intimidating but my faith will definitely get me through. I am finally finished packing and the last item I packed was my bible. I placed it on top so it will be the first thing I see when I open my suitcase in Uganda. It will be a reminder of who has control and that I shouldn’t fear anything.

Tomorrow is going to be a super long day. The total travel time is estimated at 24 hours. I am flying out of Des Moines and will connect in Detroit. From Detroit, we will then fly to Amsterdam and from there to Uganda. As you can see it is going to be a long busy day so I am heading to sleep

Goodnight!

I will be in contact with you all tomorrow. Keep me in your prayers!

    Praying for you and can't wait to hear more about your venture!
