I got my plane ticket!

Kopango! (that's a greeting in Luo, the language I'm learning of the Ugandan Acholi people)

I just wanted to let you know that on July 6th 2010 I bought my first one-way plane ticket to Uganda, Africa! WOW. God really blessed me because the price of the ticket went DOWN a couple weeks after I was initially going to purchase it. So I only had to pay $960 for it, AND it's Delta all the way (and Delta is my favorite airline to travel with). Praise God:) So you're probably curious as to what date I bought the ticket for... well... I'll be flying out on October 5th and arriving in Entebbe, Uganda the night of October 6th. All in all, it'll be about a 19 hour flight. Talk about leg cramps! lol Anywayz, I decided to push the date back a little bit so my sister could leave her school to see me off. So 3 months and counting... You'll be happy to know that I have approx. $700 in one-time gifts raised and $60 per month so far. Please keep praying that God will lay it on people's hearts to support this work of the kingdom as there is still a chunk of support left to be raised. I am not worried, though because I know God will provide all I need. He equips the called. Hallelujah God Bless you all
