Saturday: we left at 6:30p.m. 

 

From James: The feeling of going so far, long plane rides, missing my wife and son is reality now.   Traveling this far is actually my first and I'm excited to see what God is going to do.

The team that God has put together is solid, we're trusting in each other and in our King.  We'll try to send as many updates as possible. 

 

From Courtney: We just arrived in London. The flight was long. My peanut butter got confiscated, they claimed it was a liquid, but I'm pretty sure you can't drink peanut butter. My husband Ben kept laughing at movies all night, so I didn't really sleep too much. Although I'm glad I wasn't sitting in front of him, because James didn't seem to thrilled about being kicked all night either. I'm glad we are in London and safe. I'm really anticipating arriving in Uganda and hopefully sleeping on the way. Please keep praying, our journey is just about to begin!

 

From Mary:  What Courtney forgot to mention was along with the peanut butter incident, Dan was pulled out of line in London for taking pictures in the terminal.  I guess he breeched security by shooting photos.  Not to worry--we got him back.  In fact, he is sitting talking to a man who is traveling back home to India from New York because his mother died.  God is working in ways that we hadn't even anticipated.
