David and I will be going to Uganda this summer so I've decided to start this blog to share those experiences with friends and family. Access to the internet will be sporadic while we're gone but I will try to post as often as possible. Two recent graduates, Lexie Emerson from Faulkner and Seth Neller from Harding, will be joining us. Our departure date is approaching quickly, May 22. I hope to have Lexie, Seth and David share their thoughts and plans here too.
It's an exciting time for me. I love traveling and I'm anxious to get to Africa and see Irene and the children. It's still very hard to believe that Moses won't be coming to pick us up but I think the trip will be very healing, especially for David. So, the tickets are bought, the passports have arrived, Lexie and Seth have gotten their shots. Now, we make final preps with our contacts, decide which malaria medicine to take and pack our bags. DJ, of course, has a whole lot more to do to get ready. He's got to finish the semester teaching and grading first. Oh and we did buy a house closer to Faulkner's campus and will be moving in the next two weeks I guess. I tried to make a packing list last summer so it's probably time to look for that and re-read my diary from the last trip to jog my memory.
Ok, I hope this blog thing works out. I look forward to your sharing the trip with me. At the moment, I'm overwhelmed by God's love and blessings.
