So here I am in Amsterdam at 2:15am CST. But over here it’s 9:15am. My body is beginning to get a little confused. The first leg of our trip was great…about 9 hours (saw a sunset and sunrise). Waiting a little longer here then on another 9 hour flight to Entebbe, Uganda.

I’m beginning to prepare myself for these next days ahead. I’m excited about what God has in store for each person on our team and those we will encounter. But at the same time I’m a bit heavy from leaving Leslie and the kids. It was a particularly tough good-bye this time. Benjamin especially was not too keen on Daddy leaving. So please pray for us all in this…especially Leslie.

Right now I’m in a pretty ritzy airport (I’m sitting right across from a spa). But on the next landing we will be in a much different place. I remember last time driving from the airport to the place where we stay and how tough it was to see those images of poverty along the way. It is a shock to the heart when you have not been exposed to it in a while so I expect to experience some of that again.

Well that’s it for now…about to run out of Wi-Fi. More to come later.
