One part of the journey complete

So I had probably one of the shortest flights in my travel history. Today, I left from Norfolk International around 9:24 am and landed in 10:40 am in Philly. It wasn't a bad flight. The guy next time just fell asleep for the whole flight. So instead of chatting with him, I looked at SkyMall Magazine. It amazes how much useless things a person can buy for themselves. I entertained myself for the entire flight and then proceeded to meet up with my teammates at the sending center. It was great to hang out with the missionary team and team going to Ireland. Even though it was about month since I have seen most of the people. it felt like last week we bonded in the mountains of North Carolina. There are such an awesome group. Nick and Katie are great and truly a blast to chill with. It's awesome how that works that God gives you the tools and matches you with people that you can get along with. Tomorrow, we have more team building exercises and cross cultural training. We leave for London tomorrow night around 9. Then we have a 12-hour lay-over in London. Finally, we fly to Uganda 9 (London Time) on Sunday. Thanks again for your prays and support. Stay Tune for updates!

My New Hair Cut...

What Do you Think????

So packing for two months can be a pain.....

Hey Everybody,

So it definitely hit me the last thursday that I was about to leave
the country. In fact, I was lying in bed for about two hours before I
could get some sleep. I am stoked that I am leaving this friday but
things are not easy to pack for. For instance, how many people know
the correct amount of sunscreen to bring? I sure don't..... So it's
kinda crazy that it's almost time for me to leave. I am still not
ready (got to buy more bug spray and a few things). Also for most of
you guys reading this blog, it will be the first time you are going
to see me with short hair. Tomorrow, I am planning on cutting all my
hair off. Don't worry pictures of this will be up shortly afterwards.
Thanks again guys for all your support and prays. I really appreciate
it. Enjoy your summer guys and be safe...Don't do anything that i
wouldn't do.

Peace
J

Almost time to leave

Hey Guys,

I can't believe it is almost time for me to leave. It's been great to hear how everybody is so excited for me. I think that I have almost everything I need. I just need to get the sunscreen and few others things before I leave.

For those who are interested, the two doctors (they are married and have a family) have a blog. So if it might cool for you guys to check their blog out. I have kept up with it and it's great way to learn about Uganda.
