Dear Family and Friends,
After 5 delightful days in London, we left last night for Uganda. A slight hiccup at the airport...I had gotten the departure time wrong! It was written in 24 hour clock and read 20:00. Mentally, I thought we were leaving at 10pm, and it was really 8pm. We got to the airport at 7:15pm! Good thing we didn't have bags to check! I had visions of OJ Simpson running through the airport, leaping over suitcases. We really did sprint to our gate. It was Kenya Airways; security was not too difficult. Micah was awesome, no panic, just saw it as another adventure! Just the day before, I had been pridefully commenting to Micah on how good we have been at getting to the airport/train station with plenty of time...
After a layover in Nairobi, we were met at the Entebbe airport by our dear friend and taxi driver, Richard. He safely transported us to our hotel and will be picking up Jerry on Sunday. That afternoon we are planning a get together with Richard, his wife and 3 little girls.
Jess and the team are still out for the day, working with two different childrens' homes. We can't wait to see them all.
Thanks for your prayers!
Much love, Cathi

I truly appreciate it.
We will review telling time using the 24 hour clock when you get home.
Wait til Jerry talks to you... we might end up being neighbors after all!

Say hi to everyone for me, when you see them!

So good to hear your sprint across the airport got you there, Cathi! I am quite familiar with that race... Thought of you many times the last few days as Ron's visiting with Jerry over church council things and mutual projects. Now three Vons are at least on the same continent--and soon the fourth. You'll have many insights and heartsites to share with us when you are back home. But I also enjoy reading how your sense of family and 'home' expands with all the folks you have come to love in (and from) so many places. Love you here, too. Wendy
Glad to hear all is well! Please give Lauren a big hug from her family--We MISS her!!! Hugs to the Vons!
