Deep in the heart of Texas!

Thank you all for your prayers for Mary Kate. She arrived (I see she posted also! How'd she do that?) in Texas this afternoon.

We left for the airport about 6:45 a.m. and she got her luggage checked in quickly. We are grateful that no overage fee was charged since all that peanut butter and jelly really weighed her luggage down. She was a tiny bit over the 50 lb...ok, like 4-5 lbs. over limit but they didn't care. After getting on the plane, there was something wrong with the door. Trust me on this one, you want the door to CLOSE. Everyone had to get off, then get back on and get all their stuff. They thought it was best to switch to another plane, (great thinking!) and she was finally off for real. With a breakfast of Cornflakes and bananas, (can't imagine that was her favorite) she had a good flight. She phoned us around 3:30 to say she met up with the Global Expedition group and would be leaving for the 2 hour bus ride to their headquaters soon.

For the next few days, Mary Kate will be training for her mission trip in Garden Valley. Training will include preparation for ministry, team building exercises, and Scripture memory, etc. Knowing Mary Kate, she'll be doing her share of meeting new friends too, you can count on that!! The new friends will soon learn that Mary Kate has a great laugh, and can hiccup louder than anyone else they know!

We are so grateful to so many who have prayed for her and have given financially to help her be able to go on this trip. We are praying and trusting the Lord to use her and her team to touch many lives in Uganda. Until next time...Cindy
