Waiting in London

Well, I have now been in the London airport for nine hours...and counting! My flight continues to be delayed, but honestly it doesn't feel like I have been here that long. I sprung for the internet and have found a wonderful nook that amazingly continues to be open every time I get up and come back again!

Taking off from LAX was a strange experience. In many ways it felt totally normal as I have flown quite a bit back and forth to college. On the other hand, it began to hit me that I was actually leaving to go live in Rwanda for a year. I like saying that--live in Rwanda. I know it is only a year, but it is comforting and exciting to think about attempting to live there instead of just visit. We'll see if I am still saying that a few months from now!

So, I am not entirely sure when I will be arriving in Kigali...but I will get there eventually! I talked to Pastor Joel about my delays and since the church is just across the street from the airport he said he will just watch out his window for the plane to come into Kigali. I'm not sure how he is going to tell from the sky if it is MY plane or not! But, considering the fact that there are only a few flights into Kigali per day, I think it will all work out just fine :-).

I am very new to "blogging," but my cousins told me I should be funny. Unfortunately I don't think I have lived up to their recommendations, but maybe I can blame that on the fact that I haven't slept much! (Although, it seems like if there was anytime I might have something really hilarious to say while blogging it would be in this semi-incoherent state...Oh well.) Anyway, we'll just have to see how it goes. Feel free to check back for updates. I am not sure how often I will be blogging, but I'm sure I will get into a rhythm after awhile.
