Hello everyone!
We made it to Uganda safe and sound last night at 9PM in Entebbe. Everyone was a little sleep deprived but spirits were high. Duncan met us at the airport and we loaded up all of our gear (26 suitecases) and drove to a hotel to stay the night in Entebbe. We all got something to eat and got some much needed rest after over 28 hours of travel. This morning we got up and had an English breakfast and spent some time looking around. The place we are staying at is right on the shore of Lake Victoria. Josh Harden was really excited to see all the monkeys that were out this morning.
The plan for today is to have a little meeting this morning so Duncan and his friend from Saint Louis can pray for the team and do a little orientation. After that a bus will come and pick us up to drive to Jinja (where we will be staying while we are here). On the way we will stop in Kampala, the capital of Uganda, to change some money (the curencey here is shillings) and on our way to Jinja will be making a stop for my favorite, chicken and goat on a stick. The main goal for the day is getting settled in and to get some rest. Tomorrow we will visit our first home!!!!
Thank you so much for your prayers! Everyone is doing well and is ready to go. Now that we will have access to the intranet we will be posting updates regularly. Be sure to leave a comment and stay tuned.
Wealaba (goodbye)

YAHOO! Glad to hear you are finally on the ground. I am sure there are plenty of plane stories! Hey team I want you to know my prayer for you is that God reveals Himself to you in extradordinary ways. That you will not be the same. That God plants a "sloppy wet kiss" on each one of you. Gods going to use you each one of you in ways you didnt think possible. So buckle up and be ready to be used by God!!
ReplyDeleteAlso be ready to receive becasue there is an out pouring coming your way!
GO TEAM!
Yah so happy you all made it safely. The travel part always makes for some good laughs later on. While you are so excited and waiting for the "ministry" part remember that you can be ministering to eachother and building eachother up so that there's much to give when you're visiting the homes. Looking forward to hearing all the stories. Love and prayers, Wendy
