Thankfully there's no snow in Uganda

Pastor Matt here!  I just got off the phone with Pastor Amy at 9:59p.m.  Originally the mission team was to depart from Spokane at 9:00a.m., but with the snow storm the Inland Northwest had last night, their flight was cancelled and the ladies were scrambling to adjust itineraries.  Instead of flying out of Spokane at 9 am, the mission team finally left Spokane at 3:00p.m.-this meant that they missed their connecting flight on KLM airlines to Amsterdam.

Sometimes missing flights is not all bad.  The team was placed on a British Airways flight from Seattle to London (Heathrow) which departed at 10:00p.m. with the added bonus of getting placed in business class for no extra cost.  The ticketing agent for British Airways told Amy that their business class seats would have cost $9,000 a piece!  Their seats fold down into full length beds including a pillow and comforter!  Hopefully with the upgraded seats the women will be able to get some good sleep. They will need it, because instead of arriving in Kampala, Uganda on Tuesday evening to go right to bed, they will now be flying to Kampala on another red-eye, leaving London  at 9:00p.m. Tuesday night and arriving in Uganda at 8:25 am Wednesday morning January 7th.  Wednesday will be a full day as they will tour the Ugandan operations of Compassion International.

Pray that God's peace and rest will surround them as they make their away across the globe this evening:)
