We began our journey to Uganda yesterday morning. We left Skippers, VA (mom and dad's place) at 8:30AM, went to the bank to get our money, and arrived in DC by 2PM without any issues. (Special thank you to my lovely sis-in-law, Ryanne, for driving us.) We made it to our gate and chilled for a couple hours before being told that our flight was delayed 10 minutes. No problem, right, maybe not. Once we boarded the plane, we had to wait for 30 more minutes while the correct paperwork was given to us. Apparently there was some computer errors. Thankfully the flight was only an hour long. We hit the ground in Montreal with 30 minutes to spare. Unfortunately the plane which had been docked in our terminal before us had some mechanical issues and we had to be moved to another one. That took 20 of our 30 minutes. I quite literally ran off the plane and leaving the others to grab the luggage I flew through customs and in 10 minutes I made it to our departure gate. Again unfortunately, the plane had just pulled way. I met back up with the rest of the group and we went through customs and started the reticketing process. That took 3 hours, but the lady was nice and helped us as much as she could. We were given hotel and food vouchers and they took care of us quite well. The cool thing was that the lady at the hotel told us, after we explained our plight, that she too was a believer and she prayed we would have a safe journey.
I know God has a reason for changing our plans, and we look to see that. In all things he does what is good. Here are a few things you can pray for today and tomorrow:
1. That we would have a safe flight to Amsterdam and then to Uganda.
2. That Jonathan, who is traveling separate, would also have safe flights, and that he would get the messages we left for him concerning our travel changes.
3. That God would be glorified in all this and he would give us gospel opportunities while we travel.
