After finally arriving to Uganda, this was the first contact I had with family. Email sent September 17, 2010 at 2:50AM EST.
I am including others on this email because I only have a few minutes online. I made it safely. That trip was very tough and as soon as I turned the corner from the escalator I began to hysterically cry. haha. But I made it and I tried to stay strong for you all. I have so many stories from my journey.... WOW. I was keeping a journal the whole time but left it in my seat, so now I need to buy a new one and fill in what I missed. My friends have been taking such good care of me and I had a lovely breakfast, my own bed, and a bath this morning. (A bowl of water... it was really silly and would've made for an excellent comedic scene if anyone saw.) I'll have to get used to the no showers. Anyway, I have to run because we are leaving now, but I am doing very well and stronger after my trip. I prayed so much, read, and looked at my photo albums the whole time. I could not have made it here without my friends and family. You all gave me the strength to continue on despite paralyzing fear. Now, it is time to enjoy Africa!!!!!
I'll write more soon!!
Love,
KTT
Berni picked me up from the airport and took great care of me!
I sent this email from his house and will be forever thankful to him
and his mother for their hospitality and friendship!
