This is it!!! We leave for the airport in 2 hours!!! I have been a little panicky, praying that I haven't forgotten anything. There are just so many needs in Africa!! We'll only be able to meet a small number of concerns, but at least I feel like I'm doing something. I just pray now for peace in my heart. I am going to miss my family so much. I know they will be fine without me but I will miss them desperately. It's not the time element of being gone for 2 weeks, it's the distance that separates us. The kids both have expressed an interest in going to Africa sometime in the future so I'm praying that I'll be able to join them in a future mission to Uganda. After this initial trip, I am hoping to have numerous friends in Africa to return to and introduce to my kids. Many thanks to all of you who donated generously to my fundraising efforts!! This is YOUR MISSION TRIP, too!!! And thanks for your prayers. God bless each of you while I'm gone!
