Brussels and Beyond

with 7 comments

Our band of tired but excited bloggers made it to Brussels to take our final jog in the journey to Uganda. It’s a fun, but tired group as we settle in to relationships.

For all of my friends and family at home, BooMama and RocksInMyDrier are in the foreground. BooMama, however, is waiting for a more photogenic moment. Carlos Whitaker is charging up his MAC for the long flight south.

After learning more about the group and also about the projects and places we’re going, we’re all pumped even though we’ve flown all night and many didn’t get much if any sleep. Great people. Great time. Great mission.

Keep us in your prayers and think about sponsoring a child.

  1. It’s as if you all are on a segment of The Amazing Race but with out the competition. (my idea of a slice of heaven on earth)

    It will be interesting to see what “detours” and “roadblocks” you will face in the coming days.

    Godspeed Team “God Squad” or “Feet & Fingers.” (Do you all have a name for yourselves?)

  2. Hey Dad,

    Glad you are safe in Brussels and are getting to meet some new people. I hope on that this leg of the Journey y’all can get some sleep and get ready for your adventure. Stay safe, stay smart, and have a blast :-D

    Love

  5. Sleep is much overrated on travel. Besides, there is no use worrying about it because that certainly won’t make it happen.

    The real challenge will be to see if any country will deliberately let that many bloggers in, especially if you sign documents using your blog ids.

    God’s speed, good health, and a quick return on this trip. Steven
