As we head off on this initial trip, I have been reflecting on how blessed Vicki and I have been as we prepare for this journey.

We are blessed to have received salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.

We are blessed to have family watch our kids while we are gone in Uganda for two weeks.  We are especially blessed that Carol and Jim Bob are making sure our kids get to school, get fed, get bathed, get to basketball practice, get to Awanas, get to church, get to Bible drill practice, etc…

We are blessed to have friends and family pray for our journey.

We are blessed to have awesome supporters that have contributed to the funding of our mission.

We are blessed to be members of a church that supports us on our mission and contributed to this trip.

We are blessed that I have great co-workers that will pick up the slack at the bank while I’m out.

We are blessed to have had help from Randy to prepare power of attorney documents in case they are needed while we are away.

We are blessed that Vanessa planned out our journey.

We are blessed that Marvin was able to find affordable plane tickets so that we could afford to go on the trip.

We are blessed that Marvin was able to get missionary travel arrangements so that we are able to bring 3 checked bags each to bring things for Vanessa, the Bogans, and things to leave there for our permanent move.

We are blessed that Patrick was able to round up supporters to fill Vanessa’s wish list and purchased all the items on Vanessa’s list for us to bring.

From the bottom of our hearts, we would like to extend a very big thank you to everyone that has helped us along the way.  We couldn’t do it without you!
