Our last dinner in Uganda. It is Monday morning in the US and the Hearts and Hope mission team has returned! Our flight arrived in St. Louis yesterday afternoon around 12:30 - 15 minutes early. So early that one spouse of a team member was still mowing the yard when she arrived! It was a bit of a close call in Detroit as four of us slid into our seats only 2 minutes before the door to the plane was closed. We have to clear customs and immigration when we reenter the US and one of the team got to experience a random bag search so we were a bit delayed. In the end, we were all on the plane when it left!
All of our flights were uneventful; many people slept during our 11:30pm flight from Entebbe. It was a short layover in Amsterdam and we were off for Detroit! Sleep will be off-schedule for a few days. The eight-hour time difference makes the adjustment difficult. The team has much to share so be patient, family and friends! They have seen things that have changed them. I look forward to the future relationship each of them shares with Hearts and Hope and our friends in Uganda.

I returned home from this trip yesterday completely exhausted physically, mentally, and emotionally. I already miss being in Uganda. I went to Uganda three years ago with Hearts & Hope for the first time and it was life transforming. But this visit was different for me. Something really "broke" inside me this time. Right now I have no words to describe it. I know that at some point in time I will be able to put the experience into words, but for now it eludes me. I believe, like the words to a popular song, God has broken my heart for what breaks His. Please pray for and support Hearts & Hope for Uganda and these beautiful children of God. Their needs are so great and we have so much to give.
