Enduring two long airplane rides, albeit with nutritious and satisfying meals and entertainment, a day touring London with other friends, and sleepless nights aboard the aircraft which allowed us no more than five hours of sleep in two days, Megan and I safely stepped on the soils of Uganda. Nonetheless, we have been blessed with traveling safeties, warm greetings, well wishes, and invaluable support. Thank you to those who have been praying for us, supporting us, and sending emails or other communications.
Tomorrow will be my initial encounter with what I will define my home for the next year. I continue to marvel that my dream of living in and embracing African culture will soon become reality. I patiently anticipate each opportunity to engage in Ugandan community, in Ugandan joy, in Ugandan struggles, in Ugandan laughter, and in Ugandan pain. Only God knows how the path of my life will be shaped, molded, straightened, cut, and softened by the experiences of which I choose to become part. Beginning with language training over the next couple of weeks, I will actively seek opportunities to develop and nurture relationships and friendships. Only upon these relationships and friendships can I begin to define my home.
HOME is Hope, Openness, Memories, and Experiences.
