On the flight from San Antonio to Houston on Saturday morning I sat by an eight year old girl who was flying back home to North Carolina after spending two weeks with her father and stepmom and baby sister in San Antonio. I tried to read part of the time but she was a chatter box while playing her nintendo DS so we visited most of the way. I talked to her about Jesus loving her and she said she knew about him although she and her mom don’t go to church. The hour went by quickly and I was soon in the Houston airport. I was able to work on an editing project for a couple of hours while my computer was plugged into electricity. About noon ordered a chicken salad at Ruby’s restaurant and before I started eating that huge salad, Jason called. He was already at the airport and met me for lunch. Our flight to Amsterdam left about 3:30 so after our visit over lunch, I was able to work some more on my project. Although I had a six hour layover it went by quickly.
On this 8.5 hour flight I sat next to Salman from Saudi Arabia. He is about 25 and a student at U of H. He shared about going to school in Oregon and now in Houston. He hasn’t seen his family in a year and is anticipating seeing them again. He shared that his family had chosen a possible wife for him so after he meets her and they discuss their plans he might become engaged. It was very interesting to listen to him speak about his prospective wife. It sounds like a business arrangement. If they both agree they have common goals and interests then they will marry. He loves his mom very much and shared how he would take care of his wife and provide for her. He also shared that after he gets his degree is in electrical engineering he will start a family business in his home town. He wants to provide employment for himself and his family while helping to better his community and country. He is a bright young man who learned English and speaks it fluently after one year in the US. He is Muslim and we had a wonderful dialogue about the similarities and differences between Islam and Christianity.
After we had supper, I wasn’t sleepy so I used the computer to continue my editing project. It was impossible to open up the laptop because the space was so limited between the seats, so the flight attendant allowed me to seat in the jump seat for several hours while I finished it. I think I didn’t get sleepy because I was so focused. In the Amsterdam airport, I was able to purchase some internet time and email the project to Ginger. While waiting the short three hours for the next flight, Jason played his guitar and we sang some songs. We met with Beverly by our gate about an hour and a half before the flight to Entebbe. She had arrived earlier than us and was happy for us to connect. We expected to meet with Kemper and Marie but they never came. We understood that we would all be on the same flight to Uganda but that didn’t happen.
When I was packing at home my suitcases were too heavy so I had to leave some things like my extra shoes, a jar of peanuts and a sack of hard candies. I didn’t want to leave my peanut butter so I put it in my carry on. That jar made it through security checks in San Antonio and Houston, however security agents confiscated it in the Amsterdam airport because they considered it a gel!
Oh, well, so much for the peanut butter!
On this flight I sat by a gentleman that didn’t understand English so we didn’t visit. I was falling asleep with food in my mouth! I slept off and on for several hours. I tried to watch a movie but slept through part of that too. By the time we arrived at the airport in Entebbe, I was awake again but exhausted. Praise God! All of our luggage arrived with us and Peter was there to pick us up. We asked him about Kemper and Marie but he thought they were coming with us too.
We loaded the luggage into the new Servants of the King white van!! even had a ladder on the back so suitcases can be loaded on the luggage rack! This will be a great help when teams come and also when I need to take so much equipment and supplies to the boat landing in August.
After loading our things inside, Jason and I went back into the airport to check the flight schedule to find out if Kemper and Marie might be arriving later. Peter called Kemper’s home number to talk to Tommye but she wasn’t home. There are two flights in from Nairobi tonight but no others from Amsterdam. We checked in at the Entebbe Flight Hotel and the men went back to the airport for the flights from Nairobi. They checked with the ticket agent and found out Kemper is listed on a flight tomorrow night from Amsterdam, so we will stay another night here.
