Though I had been in San Antonio for a few days, I had made so many friends at Maranatha Bible church, so it was painful to depart. I felt like Paul when he was saying farewell to the Ephesians brethren. I felt the love of the brethren as they surrounded me to say farewell.
The Pastor and his wife are great people, with the church leadership; they prayed for me and wished me a safe journey.
The Pastor asked one of the church members to take me to the airport.
I had to do the checking in myself, I was getting used now.
Americans are simple and gentle people. They like their space not like is Uganda where people crash and many times push when on line. In Uganda when you live some space before you, some else will come and occupy it, so we make sure we squeeze on the lines.. Even on the plane, I was surprised; they don’t panic as we do. They are patient; they wait for the first in line to move out first. In Uganda, the last person will crush others to have his way out first. I noticed this even in Restaurants; the Americans respect other people’s rights. It is amazing the big difference US has with Africa and Uganda in particular.
Even then in Africa, they seem to take their time, they don’t hurry so much. In US every thing is done quickly. In Uganda they don’t so much respect time, the majority, coming 30minutes late is ok.
One hour later, I was in Dallas and connected to Oklahoma.
Jeff and Whitney were waiting for me at the airport and we spent the night at Eron’s place. Eron is Jeff’s sister, she leaves in Oklahoma city.
The night was very short, because I had to wake up so early to catch my 7:00 am plane to Virginia.
