Tommorrow we leave for Uganda. We will be driving to Chicago and flying out of O'Hare airport at 4:30. We have an hour in Detroit and then we fly to Amsterdam where we have an hour and 15 minutes. From there we fly to Entebbe, Uganda. We should arrive in Entebbe by 7:30 Ugandan time, which is 12:30 Eastern time. Please pray for safe and timely travel.
I am so thankful for your prayers. I am feeling very relaxed and I have no anxiety pains. Please keep praying for this specifically! I am in awe of how God is hearing and answering your prayers.
We just dropped our kids off at the Snyder's. It was actually an all day pr0ject. The kids wanted to ride their bikes from there this morning so I took them early this morning. Then we brought all there things they wanted and needed along. Linda also took Troy in the afternoon so we could get some things done that needed to yet be done. Please pray for Troy. He is very sick and is having the hardest time with all of it. We took him to the Dr. today and he has Hand, foot and Mouth disease. He has been running a high fever and is in a lot of pain. Please pray for quick healing in his little body so he can enjoy his stay at the Snyder's.
Although it is sad that Troy is sick, I really think God has used this to mold me and Steve. We were able to sit and hold him and cuddle with him. Yesterday, when he was sitting in my lap he was looking deeply into my eyes and smiling. He said to me though his huge tonsils. "Mommy, you know what my favorite part of being sick is? I said, What? He said Just being able to sit and spend some time with you!" It was so precious. God has used this to remind me that this is what God wants from us. To sit and spend some time with him! He wants us to gaze lovingly at him and enjoy him! Please pray that as we are on this journey that we can stop and just sit and gaze at our Father. We are in awe of how he has planned all the details and now we are ready to walk the path he has placed before us!
I know I keep writing this, but I am so thankful for all of you who have supported us through prayer, words of encouragement and financially! God has truly blessed us with wonderful friends, family and church family!! We love you all and are truly excited to share this journey with you.
I do not know how much I will be able to write when we are in Uganda, but I will try to write some. We really want to spend our time praying and seeking God's will for our lives. Please keep praying though and we will be excited to share when we return!
Do not be anxious about anything but with Prayer and petition presents your requests to God!!

Hi guys! By now, I imagine you are either in Soroti, or Jinja or some other place if you decided not to go straight to Soroti. Enjoy the speed bumps along the way! We've been praying for you a lot, and we're trusting God gave you smooth travel. I can imagine the excitement and joy as you finally got off the plane in Entebbe. Did you notice the smell of Uganda as soon as you stepped off the plane? Praying and loving you guys!
I like that you think. Thank you for share very much.
