This will be just a quick update:
After a lot of stress and worry... I finally have another flight to Uganda! We thought the Rwanda route was best, but after a lot of talking Joy of a Child, my family, and I have decided going into Uganda (after the inauguration) is the best idea. I will be leaving Sunday, May 15th in the evening and arriving May 17th bright and early. It will be a long travel experience, but well worth the wait. This whole experience has tested my character, and showed me a lot about myself that I don't love. I am a control freak, I love plans, and I hate when my plans are changed or interrupted. For this learning, though, I am thankful and humbled. God's plan is far better than my own. Jeremiah 19:11 says, "'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the LORD, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'" That sounds like a really great plan. I am thankful that I have more self-awareness and am most thankful for the support of my family that I once took for granted.
If you still want to donate there is DEFINITELY opportunity to do so (especially because of the change of plans)! Any gift big or small is a blessing :)

p.s. british theologian N.T. Wright has written a lot on the narrative of the OT and how it weaves into the New. his thoughts have been helpful for me, so just throwing that out there.
p.p.s. i had just read your "ruth" post, so that's what sparked the N.T. Wright recommendation. out of context, that thought is seemingly misplaced, heh.
