We made it!

Hey River family! We have safely landed in Uganda and are now in the capable hands of the Chairman, Joseph. Our flights were smooth and uneventful, with everything running on time. Our most exciting moment was during our flight to Entebbe when our plane took a biiiig drop during a little bit of turbulence, like big enough that we were airborne and our seat belts were holding us down! We drove 7 hours to make it to the TCON house in Soroti and we'll spend the next day or two here before we make the two hour drive to the village. So thank you for your safe traveling prayers and keep them coming :)

Things we have what? Learned on our trip :)

1. If the fasten seat belt sign is on, even if other people are standing, do not get up or you may suffer the wrath of a stressed out flight attendant (ahem, Brian). Dutch flight attendants do nottt joke around...

2. Last time we came to Uganda, there was an 8 hour time difference, but this time there was only a 7 hour time difference. Anybody want to guess why?? If you were a self-centered American (ahem, all of us), you might think that Uganda had done some crazy time change or that maybe all of our cell phones were linking up with the wrong towers... Turns out that WE were actually the ones who sprung ahead during Daylight Savings, silly mzungus :)

3. If Brian offers you a homemade cookie that sat in a ziploc on the floor of his hotel room all night, check for ants BEFORE you take a bite... They might be a good source of protein, but you will feel like they're crawling up your throat for the next hour :)

4. The weather in Uganda during July is beauuuutiful - 75 with some sun and some clouds and a perfect breeze :) We are so happy and so blessed to be here, enjoying this country and fellowship with each other!

Thank you for all of your prayers and support, we love and miss you guys lots!
