Amsterdam!

Hey friends! I'm currently in Amsterdam on my layover between flights. I should be sleeping but unfortunately the booth I found in the food court was apparently not comfy enough because I couldn't fall asleep. Here's an update on the last 24 hours:

-My flight was delayed FOUR hours in columbus, and then we sat in the plane for another 3. Because of this, I missed my connecting flight to Brussels and got to spend a night at the Holiday Inn. I was rebooked on a flight to Amsterdam, and will leave here at 11am our time to arrive at Entebbe at 8:15pm their time.

-Dad came up to visit me this morning in Newark and that was GREAT! After dealing with luggage issues (we think one of my bags headed through to Brussels...eek!), we got to go into the city and see a Broadway matinee, eat at Sbarro, and get some Jamba Juice! It was a great break from the airport drama of the day before.

-I'm excited to get to Africa eventually but I'll tell you what, this whole "travel halfway around the world" thing is really draining! I'm exhausted already and still have a 9 hour flight ahead!

-Luckily, 2 other people from my trip were on this flight as well so I did not have to make the trip alone. This is another huge blessing!

Well, I guess that's about it for now. I look forward to updating you all later from Kampala! Thanks again for your prayers and support: I can assure you that I've felt it in my heart so far!!
