Dear Friends and Family of Eastridge,
After many months of prayer and preparation, we have finally come to this amazing moment: We are on our way to Africa!!! After almost leaving behind 2 of our team members (Watoto lesson number 1: Do not forget your yellow fever documentation! ), we safely and securely boarded the first leg of our journey. Now, we are all sitting in Amsterdam on our 3 hour lay-over after an incredibly smooth gazillion hour flight. Some of us have already enjoyed the "world's best" coffee (according to Brett and Brynn) and have done some window shopping and people watching. The weather here is very mild. We have also met some incredible medical missionaries (Dr. Liu, Dr. Daniel, and Nurse Judi) from Mercy Trips Healthcare Outreach in Odessa,TX who are on their way to Mbale, Uganda for a surgical medical mission. Our next posting will be when we arrive in Watoto after our next gazillion hour leg ie 3 movies, 2 snacks, 1 meal, and a little nap from now:0) -Sandy Wagner

After dropping off the team at Sea-Tac airport Steve Hayes went out to lunch wearing one of the Eastridge Watoto t-shirts. Lo and behold a gentleman approached me and with a huge smile asked if that was Watoto, Africa. I said that yes, it was. And he replied that he had been there many times. God moves in some amazing ways. There are no coincidences with God.
