Well I have been woken up. Today is the day we embark on our adventure seven of us going to Africa to share the love of Jesus. Bill and Judy Henderson and I are going to meet the rest of the team at Patties house and get picked up by the shuttle and head to the airport.
4:40am Mentone Ca
We were just about to head out the door had everything ready to go and I had a Kabucha Energy drink that I was going to bring and right before we head out we head out I drop it glass and liquid splatter all over the place so we had to rush and clean it up. It was by the front door of Bill and Judy's house. It was just a little bump in the road but God is going to clear a smooth path.
9:14am LA California
We have checked into the airport and we are sitting here waiting to be called to board. The ladies went to starbucks and got some fruit and drinks. It is finally here there is no turning back we are moving forward with a goal in mind and that is to win souls for the Kingdom of Heaven.
10:53am LA California
At the airport the seven of us got together and we prayed the Armor of God over us so that we would be equipped and ready to minister in Africa and we felt the ministering angels around us and the healing angels around us as well it was power.
11:25am
We have just boarded the airplane and I am sitting in a aisle seat 18c. We are all aboard safely, Praise God. I am very excited. We are heading to Texas right now, it is a pretty full plane. Captain just said to put all electronics off as we prepare for departure. Seat Belt sign is on and were ready to go. Its hard to describe how I am feeling the time for the flight from LAX to Dallas is 2hrs and 45min. This is going to be an incredible journey.
5:20pm
When we landed in Dallas Texas, we had to hurry and run to catch the plane going to Hearthrow, London. This plane is a lot bigger and nicer then the other one. We have more room which is nice. I am also closer to sitting next to everyone on our team which is nice, as well. I started talking with a lady behind me named Paula, we were telling her about our mission trip going to Africa. She asked me how old I was and I told her I just turned 21. God is opening doors which is nice. I am very excited I know I say that a lot but its true. I just thought of this since we are going to London it is 8hrs ahead so were going to the future.
Time Unknown
During our flight from Dallas Fort Worth to Hearthrow London, they gave us dinner and a movie. I had lasuangua along with a salad with crackers, orange juice and water. I really enjoyed it cause it could be my last Americanized food for awhile. The movie that we are watching is about a couple that went to India. I think its so cool cause I would love to go one day. The movie is called Something Miracle Hotel. They had to stop the movie for a second cause the captain turned on the seatbelt sign, but then they played it again. I looked over the two rows across from my left and saw a little out the window it looks beautiful cause the sun is just setting. Just to see it from the sky is so amazing. I reached up to turn off the light and burned myself little did I know you turn it off from the armrest.
6:15pm LA Time
I found out that its about 6:15pm California time we are still on the plane and haven't gotten out of the United States. I thought we were half way across the ocean. I took some nyquil to help me sleep a little cause I have not gotten any for like 24hrs I am having a good time here on the plane God is good Im ready and excited. Rudy our guitarist is sleeping. The rest of us are awake hoping to get some rest. We took a sleeping pill hopefully that will help.
August 24th 9:28am London 1:28am LA
We have arrived in London the people that work here are kinda rude but that's all right. I met a guy named Fred that helped me with the time difference. I like it here. It was funny because we were all practicing our English accents. We have one more flight that is going to take us to Nairobi it is about 10hrs long our last flight was about 7hrs. Even though it has been a long time in the air it has still been a great overall day. Pastor Bill Henderson I saw him praying with a girl sitting next to him. Pastor Stephen is going to meet us when we land in Nairobi cant wait to see you Pastor Stephen I will see you at 9pm tonight.
10:45am LA
We boarded and just flew out of London. While we were waiting for the bust to come pick us up and take us to the plane I met this beautiful lady who was an exchange student from Nairobi, Africa studying in London, She said that she wants to come to the States one day. I told here that if she was ever in California that I would be here guide. Pastor Bill just told me about this girl named Lindsey that went to England to meet some guy that she met online keep here in prayer that God will keep her safe and that she will be blessed. Also just before the plane was about to board actually it was boarding, Rudy and Linda fell behind and almost made us miss the flight. They thought it was later, but I thank God that we did make it on time cant wait till we land its such an awesome feeling I cant describe. They have movie's we can watch I choose Contraband will see how it is.
1:25pm London
I looked at the map and we are going to fly over the Adriatic Sea going to fly over Athens Greece and over the Ionion Sea as well its real neat looking at the map to see where your flying over. We still have 6hrs and 5min of flight still to go. This is the longest flight I have been on. They are serving us dinner right now I am going to have Pasta, they asked if id like wine I said no, even though that's what Jesus turned the water into, now time to kick back dinner and a movie and a flight. I tried the dessert passion fruit posset it wasn't very good. I am going to get back to the movie. I like it. Were just flying over the Nile River and the Red Sea its 15:41pm which is 3:31pm London Time they have this map on the plane that lets you know what were flying over so as we went over the Nile I looked out the window its awesome.
