  1. I have been praying for my Dad, Tim, and the rest of the group as they continue their journey to Uganda. For some reason Delta has not updated the flight to say that you all have landed but I'm assuming it has since it's 1:00 am (EBB time) and your flight was suppose to arrive by 11:00 pm. It has been a long couple of days of travel...I pray God continues to sustain your strength and patience as you arrive in Africa.
    Love,

  2. Yes! I've heard you arrived! Praise God! Praise God! Praise God! I'm praying for all of your backs and bottoms...I'm sure you're sick of sitting! I know God will have his hand in every second of your day and I pray he blesses you with a little more traveling mercies for tomorrow than you had today! Hopefully a good night sleep will revive you for your long car ride:) I love you, Dad - you're the best!
