Flying is typically just a drag in all; however, these first two flights have gone by smoothly!
From my flight from Dallas to Detroit, I was fortunate to set next to a man named Sam. We literally talked the ENTIRE flight! 11am to 2pm! The others on my team were making jokes, "why didn't you talk about with that guy?!" And my answer is, I don't know. We talks about school, travel, religion, EVERYTHING!!
Then while at the food court in Detroit, a lady came up and asked me where we were heading. And when I told her Kenya, excitement spread across her face! She then began to explain how her church is partnered with people in Kenya, and that they recently built a church there. AMAZING!! God is all around! She had to go quickly to catch her flight, and exclaimed that she will be praying for us.
Then while waiting at out gate, I spotted a group all wearing the same shirts. So with curiosity, I asked where they where heading. Turns out their heading to Ukraine for a missions trip! Spreading the kingdom of God, BOOYAH!!! We talked for a good chunk of time, and turns out they were on the same flight as us heading to Amsterdam! Which was even more awesome!! They gave me a complete run down of their ministry. And it turns out, one of the girls on their team was adopted out of Russia. And now goes and missions in Ukraine!
I was so fortunate to be able and exchange information with them. Now I'll be able to keep up with them & their ministry!
Then while on the plane to Nairobi, I sat next to a lovely lady who just so happened to originally be from Fort Worth, Texas!! How crazy awesome is our God! And her dad is the missions professor at Dallas Baptist University!! I was so lucky, because I was seating a good 20 rows away from the rest of my team. She was filled so many stories, it was amazing!!!
Can't wait to see what our Heavenly Father has in store for us the rest of our stay her in Kenya and what He has in store for me when I split off from the team and head over to Uganda!!!
