We're Here!!!!!

Sheri writing: It was a long journey but we made it safely to Jinja (at 2:00 a.m.). Just a few hiccups along the way - We had to go through security twice at London. We will not say who led us out of the secure zone trying to find our next gate. The three most lik.ely to get pulled over at security were Don (who was patted down) - Brenda who had her bag pulled and lost her sunscreen and myself who had my bag inspected twice (but lost nothing). On the last leg of the journey, we traveled with another mission group from Canada who had lost a member of their group in London. We then felt that losing a little time and a bottle of sunscreen was very minor.
We are all very grateful for God's guidance and protection.

This morning we had devotions with Paul and Pam. Paul instructed us that it is more important to be relational and not always think we have to accomplish a task. This morning Byron and Dawn went to the hospital to check on one Sera's boys who had fallen out of a tree yesterday. The boy's name is Daniel and he was unconscious all night, but this morning he woke up and they are sending him home.

We are excited to see what God has to teach us today. Talk with you later.

  1. Clarification: The guy from Canada was just lost at the airport and was left behind from his group.

  2. Glad to hear you made it safe. Pauls devotional is good for me. I like to get things done more than talk.

  4. Glad you guys made it safely. Security at airports is always an adventure. Paul is right it is all about relationships (I didn't get it completely the first time). Tell Paul & Pam hello and be open to everything God has in store for you.
