SURPRISE change of plans - we'll be home Thursday a.m. (anxiety is in the air)

Our plans have changed because we found out a few hours ago that Zeke will indeed have to acquire a visa to stay in London for a few days and there is no way for this to happen when we leave in 12 hours. We were led to believe that this would not be a problem, but thank the LORD I checked today just to make sure and I found out this new information. This change is unfortunately costing us a great deal of money and I (Jimmy) have been on a boda boda in Kampala riding around like a mad man trying to change our tickets and wrap up everything here in Uganda. United does not have a representative here.
So believe me I am thrilled that we can fly out tomorrow because if we miss this flight then it will be DAYS before we can leave here because it is high season. So this is the good news. We are so thankful that we were able to secure flights to connect in London and take us to Greensboro. This was no small feat and I am so very thankful. For a while, we were either going to be stranded here or stranded at customs in London.
The bad news is:
*We have to travel for 18 hours with a two hour stop in London with Zeke and Zuri who both have diarrhea.
*We have to spend the night in Newark.
*The past 8 hours have been our worst in Uganda and Jimmy is exhausted and worried about the cost of our return trip.
*The good news is that we are going to be in Greensboro on Thursday at 9:50 a.m on UN 4386.
Please pray for our journeys. We leave for the airport in less than 3 hours. 
**Not to be an alarmist, but also pray for Jimmy's leg as he has sustained some sort of bug bite that is causing him difficulty. We have believed that it is an African ant bite, but the swelling and pain has not changed in 48 hours. It is not spreading, but it is not getting better either. Many of you believe and have seen God heal physically. I ask you to pray for this and that it not be something that is alarming. 


Thank you for walking with us in this journey.
Jimmy (for the Renslow tribe)
