i am writing from the amsterdam airport! the flight here was GREAT! it was probably my best international flight ever. I have been trying to sleep according to uganda time, but i haven't gotten much. Jake, Mandy, and I sat together and I think i tried to sleep in every single possible position. When we first left, the pilot said that we were passing through Evansville, Indiana and it definitely made me sad! i am for sure missing the boyfriend. the food was actually really good and jake and i watched benjamin button which made the time go fast. The flight ended up being almost 9 hours! I just got to talk to my mom via skype and that was AWESOME! i felt pretty bad for waking her up at 3:20 AM but hearing her voice was so great. I miss my family already!
i am SO excited to get to uganda! i still feel like this is totally surreal. even though i am currently sitting in a foreign airport, i can't believe it is really here. we are expected to arrive tonight around 8:30-9 which is around 1:30-2 in the afternoon your time. i can't wait to FINALLY be posting from africa, telling you what it's like. i love you all! thanks for wanting to know what is going on. you're support and prayers continues to amaze and encourage me.
For His Glory,

Don't ever think twice about calling ANY time of the day! I am sleeping with my phone under my pillow, and I want to hear your voice too! I am so proud of you!
