We Are Here!

Hi everyone!

We are here in Uganda! I will write little because I am paying by the minute for the internet connection......

We arrived in Kampala on Saturday. We have had an amazing trip so far. I have had some asthma issues while in Kampala. The air quality is very poor. You can literally see the pollution. We were greeted at the Entebbe airport by monkeys! They were so cute! We lost 3 of our 4 bags, but they were found within the day. God has been very good to us!

There are not enough words to describe the experiences we had in Kampala. From Pastor Chris's orphanage which houses 800 children, to the amazing worship at his church, to the women's conference where we saw a muslim girl give her life to Christ........I could go on forever. After experiencing Sunday's worship, we were satisfied with our trip.

We are now in Jinja and the air is clear. Hallelujah! We are headed to Iganga today and tomorrow. I will speak at the women's conference. Todd doesn't have his assignment yet. He was the pharmacist at our last conference. He said he sampled a little of everything.......

Keep us and our family in your prayers!

Your trip sounds so exciting so far! I'm praying for you as you speak at the Women's Conference today (Thursday). I zoomed-in on the places you have visited using Google Satellite, just to get a better idea of where you are. I can see why Kampala was so polluted! It's a HUGE city! Did you visit the source of the Nile in Jinja?? Your girls had Sunday on lock--no worries. :)

We are praying for you & hope you are doing great things while in Uganda.

Donna and Todd - what a heartwrenching thing to see an orphanage of 800 - but all known intimately by their real Father. Will pray for all your words to the women there. And perhaps Todd in his new carreer as pharmacist will discover a cure for something...!
