In less than two hours we will be departing from the Atlanta Airport, and will be on our way to London, England! I am now getting a little nervous, but but I am so excited about what is to come, that it is easy to forget that we are not already there. A couple of the people that are coming on this trip with us have traveled to Uganda, and other countries for missionary work. Hearing the stories that they have been telling us, I can't wait to see what lies ahead!
We have now been in the airport for almost three hours, and I am truely amazed by all of the people whoare interested in what we are doing! All of the team members traveling with us on this journey, are wearing matching t-shirts that are purple with bright yellow letters. Even just at dinner, we had several people read our shirts and ask what we were doing on this trip. One man walked up and asked us what part of Uganda we were going to be in, and when we told him, we found out that he lives in Uganda, near where we will be, as a missionary! This really makes me wonder who all these hundreds of other people are, who are all here for now, but are on a journey to some place else. We coukd all be going in a hundred different directions, and yet there is a God who loves each and everyone of us, and will watch over everyone of us, no matter where we are going! Our God is an AWESOME God!
I can't wait until we load the plane and this journey begins, although it really began months ago when God called us to this mission! Please pray for us to have a safe trip to Uganda, as anything could happen! I will try my best to post tomorrow, but don't know if we will have time in between flights.
Sweet dreams,
Hope

Just watched an Amazima ministries video with Katie Davis. Seeing all those precious children made me think of and pray for ya'll. Showing love to those children matters so much!
