24 Days Till Liftoff...

Hi!
It is amazing to me how fast our trip is coming. I am excited and looking forward to hitting the ground running. When I sent our itinerary over to Chris Ochaloi in Uganda he said, "This isn't a program...this is a marathon!" It's true, we are trying to pack a whole lot into our time there.
Sometimes the best thing to do is go with a basic plan, accepting and knowing that all of it or none of it may actually happen. Last time I went over two years ago - there were just three things on the agenda. Two happened. But, what filled in the gaps of the other 10 days has unfolded into two years worth of projects & opportunities for both the children of Uganda and all involved stateside! My point? So much has happened, and none of it was "planned"...at least....not by me. Sometimes it is very difficult to go off with open minds and hearts - knowing that we will see and do everything we are supposed to :-) It is also very freeing!
Peace out,
Martha
