The team left Dubai about 9:00 a.m. this morning and arrived in Entebbe, Uganda at 2:36 p.m. local time, with about an hour layover in Bole, Ethiopia. They also gained one hour back, so they are now 7 hours ahead of us in New Jersey.
Mary Kate just phoned (they are required to call when they reach their country. It is 2:45 p.m. here) but we only had 3 minutes to talk. The connection was OK, and she is fine. Please pray everyone stays well, since the girl next to MK on the plane, was sick...could have been motion sickness...or not. She said the weather there was perfect, a cool 72 degrees and sunny. No more Texas heat! The place they are staying in is called Nana Hostel in Kampala. That will be their home base, and from there, they will go to the villages and schools. She said Nana Hostel was very nice, nothing like their accommodations in Panama, but then this is a city base and that was the jungle and islands. It was good to hear from her, and thank you for your prayers as they traveled. Now the work begins.
The "Update from the Field" posted on the GE website this morning says "Greetings Parents and prayer partners! The teams are currently in the airport in Dubai awaiting the boarding of the final flight to Uganda! The group is doing wonderful! Last night we had a layover in Dubai hotel. Everyone is healthy, cheerful and excited. Many blessings have happened in our travel process where team members have been able to share Christ with fellow travelers. We thank you for your prayers! When we allow the students to make phone calls as soon as we are able upon landing."
