Grace and Cash kids
Grace and FaithGrace was awesome. She stayed awake the entire first leg to Amsterdam and kept saying, “I’m not tired”.
We had a 1 hour layover in Amsterdam and Kristin and I were tired. They don’t have trams in Amsterdam to take you from one terminal to another. After walking a mile or so we found our flight. We had to recheck through security since they have metal detectors at all gates. While waiting for our trip we had the pleasure of meeting young family from Uganda who were returning home after the father had finished his MBA in America. The little girls name was Faith and so she and Grace had a great time. I asked the father where he was in school at and he said that he had graduated from Missouri State University in Springfield, MO. I said, “Hey, I grew up there”. WOW what a coincidence. I asked the little girl were she went to school and she said the name of the school and I looked in disbelief. Thirty-one years ago, when I was her exact age, I went to the exact same school. Amazing. To find this family in Amsterdam and to suddenly have this great connection. We really enjoyed talking to them.
On the plane to Entebbe, Uganda, we all fell asleep instantly. Praise the Lord. Grace slept for about 3 hours and I slept about 2-3 and Kristin slept less than 1. She never sleeps well in moving vehicles.
We arrived at 10 pm in Entebbe so after going through customs we were able to get to a hotel that was very pleasant. It had netting over the bed. In the dark it was hard to tell that we were not in America but when I saw the mosquito netting, I knew we were not in America. I have been having panic dreams for weeks about getting malaria.
We awoke early in the morning due to the time difference but about 630 this morning Grace came running into the room saying she was scared because she was hearing a weird noise. It was a rooster in someone’s yard that started crowing about 6 am. Reminded me of growing up on our farm in Missouri. We just kind of laughed at her. She thought it was great once she realized what it was.
We are repacking our trunks now so that they will fit one the Cashes truck. We have to take all 370 lb of stuff and all 6 of us back to Ft. Portal (4 hours) in their one vehicle. I am now very thankful for the money the church raised for their new vehicle. This is a ROI (return on investment) I did not expect to receive when I gave money for this. Praise God.
Grace loves the Cash family. We have had a very nice and pleasant morning with them and are so happy to be here.
God bless all of you and we ask that you keep praying for us and the Cashes.

Good to hear you arrived safely.
Meeting people from where you grew up, Wow! what a God thing. I saw a movie once about Entibbe reliving an event that took place in darker times, and never thought members of our extended family would be there. Hopefully, all the bullet holes have been patched and painted over. We know your group will have a positive impact on all.
