I leave for Uganda in 18 short days. Life has been hectic
trying to plan a wedding, find a house, apply for immigration, applying for Michigan nursing licenses, trying to pack for an 18 week trip..... Bible studies, running around collecting donations for Africa, trying to fit all these donations into 4 suitcases...
I am so INCREDIBLY BLESSED. God is so good to me. As stressfull as all of this is, I have a peace that surely passes all understanding.
As for my trip to Africa, here is my itinerary, I leave for Uganda on July 5th from Detroit Metro Airport, thru to Amsterdam, then after a brief stop in Rowanda, I arrive in Entebbe Uganda July 6th @ 10 pm. My drivers Eric and Shallom will pick me up at the airport and we will stay the night in Entebbe. On July 7th I will stop in Kampala to grocery shop (this is the last "real" grocery store in Uganda) and at the hospital in Kampala to give blood. (I have a rare blood type and I'm sure they could use it) We will then drive the 3 hours to Jinja where I will stop in at Amani Baby Cottage to visit and drop off some donations I have for them. Also I will get to see Hope...... I miss her so much <3
That evening Eric and Shallom will drive me the last 45 min of my trip to Iganga Uganda to Kwagala Baby Home.
My friend Emily opened this orphanage in March, and I am thrilled to be spending the 1st two months of my trip with her. (She is currently ill and in the USA receiving treatment... please pray for her).
The 2nd half of my trip will be back at Amani Baby Cottage in Jinja! I will keep you posted as to my lastest ventures...
Please keep me in your prayers as I begin my travels. Pray for finances, safety and health..
