A slow start to the beginning
The journey began yesterday evening, as my family and I drove to Salt Lake City, Utah to stay the night in a hotel before my early AM departure today April 10th, 2008. And the journey got put on hold.... I was scheduled to fly with American Airlines today and all their flights from SLC were cancelled. The next flight available to Africa is Saturday, April 12th, 2008. Therefore, Mom, Dad, and I drove back to Idaho and we will set out again tomorrow evening to spend the night in SLC before my Saturday 0715 departure to Africa. Everything is in God's hands and tonight I am in my own bed and that is okay with me.

Laura! Good luck to you. Keep in mind that God does everything for a reason, and you probably won't see the whole picture anyways, so try not to stress the small stuff :p. Hope you have a good time. Keep us updated.

Laura,
Sorry we could not catch up with you before you left NH! We know you will have a good flight tomorrow, so enjoy the time you have left in the states. As your adventure unfolds, you will be in our thoughts and prayers. We will look forward to your updates.

Do you know what ship you will be on, or did I miss that boat? I read the big boat, Africa Mercy is docked in Liberia, and the president visited it back in February, on Janell's birthday. Inquiring minds love to know..... :)

Hi Laura- I am so excited to hear about you arriving safely in Africa. What an adventure you have had just getting there....your dad called Aunt Marilyn yesterday and me today to read your blog over the phone etc.... I heard you had a seat mate on the plane from Mayo headed to the same place...how amazing is that.... God had a reason for the delay then.
I found the new library here with lots of pcs for use so I will check them as often as I can. I will print out some and send it to Aunt Liz. She was so excited to get your letter and photo. Marilyn and I had lunch with her Saturday. She is sending you a snail mail. As are the rest of us soon.
Love you lots punkin head.
Aunt Joy PS my church prayed for you. Pastor is leaving today for a trip to Turkey.
Hi Laura
Can you use Starbucks gift cards there on the ship?
Aunt Joy
Hi Laura,
So glad that you made it safe and sound....
Just want you to know that I was thinking about you.
I've enjoyed being able to catch up on all that you've been doing since arriving.
God has a MIGHTY plan for you in all of this!
Love, Kim
