Rest...

Just a quick (and unfortunately, pictureless), note to let you know that I have safely arrived in Kampala, Uganda. My flight from Chicago to London went well, my flight from London to Entebbe, Uganda, was good. And now I am staying in Kampala. It is beautiful here. After we get to Congo late next week, I will be sure to update with more information... But for now, I wanted to leave a quick message while I have time at the internet cafe that's just down the street from where we are staying here.

The time so far has been restful, encouraging, and enjoyable. I am happy to be here. Of course my family and friends are missed. But I hold on to the hope that one day (and maybe soon!), I will be joined or visited by some! (Mom? Dad? Diane? Hannah? Sarah? Stevie? Anyone else?? hehe!) :)

Ok well I am out of time so goodbye for now!

love,
Bethany

ps - the cafe i'm at is playing Christian music. It's really cool to hear :)

"Sayin' 'yes, Lord, yes, Lord, yes, yes Lord, Amen!'"

Farewell!

In a few short hours I'll be getting on the British Airways flight to London... After which I'll head to Entebbe, Uganda and then, on the Beni, Democratic Republic of Congo.

The past few weeks have really flown by. It's sad leaving my family and friends. But it's so exciting to begin this new part of life. I'm ready to see what the Lord has in store!

I'm not sure how long I'll be in Uganda, but I will do my best to update soon and will start posting on here regularly.

lots of love,
Bethany
