The Day Is Almost Here!

     If you are reading this blog, you probably already know that tomorrow marks the day that has been long awaited! Tomorrow, my Dad, my brother Zane, and I will be traveling to Uganda, Africa. Preparations for this trip, especially expenses, have all been taken care of, and have exceeded our expectations. I am happy to say,that because of your help, either financially or through prayer, we were able to raise around $7,000 dollars more than what we personally needed to be able to go on this trip. This money can now towards feeding the orphanages that we will visit! This is a true testament of what God can do.
     As we are now counting down the hours before we will be on the airplaine headed for London, England, (our layover before we reach Uganda), reality has finally hit! We are now frantically trying to pack. Packing usaully is not hard for me, but because of the fact that we will be traveling though three completely different climate zones (from Locust Grove where it is in the 70's, to London where it is in the 50's, and lastly, to Uganda, where it is in the 90's), and because we each have two carry-on backpacks that we have to fit all of the things that we will need for twelve days into, I am finding packing as quite the challenge!

     Thanks again for all of your support for my family and I so that we are now able to go tomorrow, to this country that so desperately needs to know that there is a God who loves them and has a plan for their future. I am so excited to see how God will use us to share the gospel with the people in Uganda. Please pray that we will be able to teach them, and them understand, or if they have a a question, for us to have the right answer. I plan to keep you posted on a regular basis of what we will be doing while we are there.

Also, thank you so much to everyone who took part in the ONE Campaign at Luella Middle School! We raised a total of $750! Look forward to pictures and videos of the Bukungu School and Orphanage (our sister school) receiveing the food that will be purchased as a result of your donation!
                                                                                                                                            Much love,

                                                                                                                     Hope
