January 23/Chapter 2/The Big Day
Hello everyone, The big day has finally arrived. Check in at the Midland airport was a little hectic but the employees of Continential were very helpful, it just took a little while since we had 16 people and 32 bags. Each person has a personal suitcase then they each have a suitcase with medical supplies. There was a little changing around of supplies from one suitcase to another so they were under the 50 pound limit. They arrived in Houston after a very bumpy flight, so bumpy that people were nauseated, didn’t get sick though thank goodness. I don’t have an update from the team members that are flying out of New Jersey, San Antonio or California but I will let you know when they arrive in Amsterdam.
Two of the team members had to cancel at the last minute. Elisa Brown and her cousin Jacqueline Brown had to stay in Houston as Elisa’s dad became ill and they could not leave him. Please say a pray for the family. Elisa and Jacqueline are both OB/GYN doctors so this will change the surgery schedule in Uganda. We know God is in control so He has already worked this out we just don’t know the details yet.
I will give you an update when they arrive in Amsterdam then I will introduce the team. Until then…….

Comment to chapter 5
Hey there, and no Betsy, your not rambling either. I’m sure all family and friends of all the teams, are anxious to read every little bit of information you can possibly bring to us back home. This is Roy’s third year, and though he went with sadness in his heart, with the passing of his Grandpa last week, we all, including Grandpa, would not have it any other way, than for him to continue his work there. And now with more joy and proudness you have a new member of our family, my new daughter-in-law joining the group. Everyone take care and God Bless you
