After 50 hours of travel we arrived in Apac. Our flights were remarkably smooth—in fact each flight was a few minutes early! It was wonderful seeing Anthony, Misti, Karis, and Sophia Shelton at the airport. After a night at a guest house in Kampala, we set off for Apac. While the flights were smooth, the drive was anything but. Every time we’ve been to Apac, the number “5-8 hours” has been tossed about for the length of the drive. We’ve never made it in anything close to 5, and Saturday was no different. I never remember the drive being a pleasant one, but this time we felt as if we were being tenderized for seven hours! (Donny likened it to riding The Corkscrew at Wonderland for 7 hours). As we were approaching (or surpassing) our limit with the van, we arrived at True Love Baptist. Nothing could revive our spirits like the welcome of those believers. I think I’d travel another 50 hours for a reunion like that one. Nancy, Jan, and Darcie were literally picked up by one of the women before their feet hit the ground! We had a great time catching up, followed by dinner of roasted bananas and goat ka-bobs roasted around the fire. It was a beautiful night, shared with beautiful people, and a blessing for all of us.
