It all ends at the airport

Entebbe International Airport

The runway we need Allan to be on

Last view of Lake Victoria

We have been unable to get Allan on a plane again today! The frustration is absolutely maddening. There was apparantly somone who wanted $200 from Jamil and I had only sent an $100 from the other money that was requested day before yesterday. He has explained to me that they pay fees at every entrance point in the airport and they won't tell you from one point to the next how much will be asked. He has assured me that it's $200 on one side of the gate and $200 on the other side. There were two soldiers who would not permit Allan to board today despite Jamil's pleas and assurances that he would return tomorrow with the additional $100.

I know to many of you including us at times, this sounds so unrealistic. We have been fortunate enough to have a new family worshipping with us at the church. Joseph and his wonderful wife, Tiffany and their two young children have been attending our church since early December. Joseph was raised in Cameroon and has been so helpful and encouraging to us along this journey. God has provided them to offer us validation of the corruption in Uganda. Joseph left Cameroon at 15 and encountered numerous delays along the way as well. And Tiffany told me this morning that when they were preparing to be married, it was very difficult to arrange transportation for Joseph's mother to travel to the states.

We are at a loss for discernment on what to do next. We simply cannot give up on Allan. But we also want to know that God is opening doors and not closing them. Please pray that Mark and I would have assurance that we are walking down the right path.
