So the trip started today. Bright and early (4:30) we woke up and headed to the airport. Everything went very smoothly and even Chris was able to come for the last few minutes to see me off. What a cool thing it is that he will support me moving half way across the world. I was able to get a straight flight with two stops in Tucson and Chicago. None of my bags were lost and I only had to wait about 10 minutes for the shuttle to my hotel and now here I am!
I still have tons of emotions, especially when saying goodbye. Many tears were shed but it was exciting to start my own adventure abroad. I will be meeting with my group at 2:30 tomorrow afternoon and we leave shortly after that. I will be in Uganda officially on Wednesday! Thanks to all of you who wrote the notes. I'm sure I will open that book often, especially in the coming weeks when I know it will be hard.
I received my schedule and I will be going to Rwanda right off the bat! I leave Sat and return on teh 6th. I'm really excited and can't wait to meet everyone and travel!
Please be praying taht I am able to make friends quickly and that our flight goes smoothly (and all our bags arrive). This blog may be a little boring but my adventure has just begun! I promise the next one will be filled with more exciting things. I'll see you all in December, I'm off to Africa!
