Ok, so that was German and not Dutch, but they'd understand what I meant. I am currently in the very large Amsterdam airport waiting for my flight to Entebbe. There are cool computer ports in my terminal which I am using for the cool price of 3 euros for 15 minutes (that's about $6). Things are going very well.
I was able to leave out of LAX before the earthquake and I landed safely in Detroit. The transfer from Detroit was very easy. That airport is the prettiest one I've ever seen. It was one long concourse with a monorail train to take you from one end to the other (I walked to the end of the concourse just so that I could ride :) ) There was also a beautiful fountain that shot water in crisp streams. Very cool. I had lunch and wandered around.
On my flight from LA I met Frank, an ex-professor turned lawyer and author who was a talker. I also met Alex, a man flying to Uganda on my same flight. He is from Uganda and was in the military since he was 11. He got permission from the president (he knows him) to leave the military and come to America for business school. He's now trying to build a business in Uganda. Cool, right?
From Detroit to here I met a wonderful couple from Norway (yeah, Gundersons!) who were also Christians. They were very nice to talk to and very supportive.
I tell you, I could feel the prayers of everyone. Thank you for them and keep them coming. God has really blessed this trip so far and I cannot wait to be in Africa. Only 9 more hours to go!

Dear Miss Brenda,
I wrote to remind all the students whose emails I had that you were on your way to Africa. I don't remember if you gave them your blog address, so I didn't either.
I'm glad and give thanks that so far..so good! PTL!
