we made it to dubai! we are waiting to board so i successfully co-lead the group through travelling from jfk (:
we stopped at the emmerites mall in dubai again. (that meant getting taxis which i helped with) and a few people actually snow skied.
i mention my success mainly because when i said that i was sort of incharge of travel bryan laughed out loud...i am not so great with direction, but i think france prepared me pretty well.
it is weird to be traveling without my gulu family. i didnt have anyone to lean on in the plane. i realized how special the bond we had was now. we were instant family and took such great care of eachother. i am so excited to see margot and catherine and amy in uganda and already miss bryan and phil and seth.
one of the best parts about being away from home is the realization of how much you love the people you left there. i have already thought about how blessed i am by the people at home.
my roommate in dubai was casey. she seems really great. she teaches math and coaches volleyball. we had a great conversation and i am going to borrow her copy of the shack (a book that was recommended to me to read)
thanks for reading my random train of thought, later posts will hopefully be more organized, and thanks for praying (:

Ha ha! So proud of you for making successful transportation connections for everyone. Communicating with people you don't know in a country you don't live in...now that's a talent! And, rest assured...the people back home miss and love you dearly. Distance tends to bring feelings for those you love to the surface. We're feeling it too. Love you SO much! Praying blessings for you and those around you. I'm jealous of them. :)
Yay you did it! I'm so sorry I was unable to make it to your send off but I'm super excited you made it! I pray the Lord keeps you all healthy, helps you settle and bond quickly and that He prepares you for the weeks ahead. Know that you are missed dearly and prayed for daily. Take care sweet friend.
Love, Maria (and Niles and Turner!)
