Joyce just got off the phone with Continental Airlines after an hour of waiting and conversation and helped us to get a better situation, even though it is not desirable. As of now, If KLM (Delta) agrees to the plan, we will leave Uganda on April 27 and arrive home on the 28th. This is 48 hours better than what they had given us this afternoon. We will be calling them daily to see if we can do better, with hopes that we will arrive this week rather than next.
This is clearly disappointing to all of us, as we are ready to see our loved ones desperately, but at the same time we could be in a much worse situation as many are in stranded in airports all throughout the world. We have read of situations where people are out of money and being sustained by bottled water, crackers and a coupon for 1 free shower a day. We are getting 3 meals, a bed, and whatever else we need for $20 a day per person. No where in the world can you get a deal like that!
Please keep praying for favor as we emulate the Bible story of the persistant widow who finally broke the judge down and got what she needed. We are doing everything we can to wear the airlines down to expedite our return home.
We love you and hope to see you soon!
Love,
P. Roy, speaking for the whole team

Hannah-the silver lining is that you have a chance to get some more great pictures. I'd love some close up pictures of faces, especially wrinkly,aged ones.
