You say goodbye, I say hello...

Well, we said our goodbye's and the Shelton's dropped us off at the airport in Entebbe. Airports tend to work a little differently outside of the U.S., so no one can come inside unless they are flying out. We got through the first security checkpoint and they told us to go wait over to the side were a restaurant was until we heard an announcement for our flight. We only had about 45 minutes until our flight was supposed to leave, so we were getting a little nervous after about 10 minutes had passed. We decided to go ahead and try to go check in for our flight, but we couldn't find the check-in desk for our airline, Air Tanzania. There isn't one. After asking around, we found out that their offices were upstairs, so I went up and found out that our flight had been cancelled. Apparently there was no contact info associated with our tickets, so they had no way of letting us know. There was another flight on Kenyan Airlines, but it was full so we are flying out tomorrow instead. And apparently we check in at the Air Uganda desk. So are we flying Air Tanzania or Air Uganda? I don't think anyone really knows... But yay for another night in Uganda. Apparently it's a lot hotter in Dar than it is here, so we get to enjoy the weather here for one more day.

I'll be in Dar Es Salaam sometime tomorrow (the arrival time isn't on our itinerary so I really don't know when...) for debriefing with all of the other HandsOn missionaries from this semester in the CESA region. We leave Dar on Tuesday and get home on Wednesday afternoon. There are 2 others flying in to Memphis with me, so I'm excited about that.

Thanks for your prayers and I look forward to seeing everyone in just a few days!!

So many pictures...

I uploaded more pictures to facebook. Check 'em out!

Also added a countdown for when I leave for Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania. I tried to add another for when I will be arriving in Memphis, but I couldn't figure out how to add another event. Maybe after the first countdown finishes it will move to the next event. We'll see...

Thanks for your continued prayers, and I look forward to being home and seeing everyone in less than 2 weeks!
