God met me in my travels in so many ways. Some wonderful friends helped me leave. My connections with the airline allowed me to travel for a fraction of what it would normally cost – this meant that I had to travel all the way Standby (a word that had begun to describe my whole life). I had no troubles getting on the flights – there was room all the way. On my longest flight I was seated in the middle of the center row, but I was in between a Kenyan pastor living in Atlanta and a government official from South Sudan. It made for some very interesting conversations. The 13 hour flight seemed to go by easily enough. I met a girl going to Kampala who I ended up sharing a ride with and staying with in Kampala. It was nice to have some company along the way and hear about her experiences with Ugandan adoption. I met a man in the hotel who took me to a church where I met some great missionaries and contacts in the educational field. The traveling went well, I got to visit some friends, and I made it safely along to Gulu. It seemed there were little miracles everyday.
