So, we are going to Kitgum tomorrow. I’ve been having a fantastic time so far, let’s see how leaving the big city goes. We just finished teaching a Children’s Ministry Workshop today. Yeah, so that went well. I managed to cover Inductive Bible Study in 10 minutes. I’m sure they got a lot out of it.
Today was a pretty typical day, so I will describe it to you. Get up at 6. Wash the dishes from dinner. Breakfast and devotions at 7. Leave the guest house around 8, running late of course. Walk down to the ShopRite, about 1 mile down hill. Catch a taxi, which is like a Toyota minivan that seats 14 not counting the driver and his man Jeeves. Take the taxi to CC Kampala. Stand around waiting for something or other. Get another taxi to Entebbe. Admire the countryside as we drive there, stopping repeatedly as people are getting on and off. Get to Entebbe. Stand around as our host argues the price of the ride with the driver. Even though we arrived late, we are still early so we stand around some more. Do the morning session of the workshop. Lunch is late, naturally, so we flex the teaching schedule to fit around it. Eat lunch, which was ugale (this connection is mind-bogglingly slow, so you have to google that yourselves), beans, rice, spinach?, and some meat joint not actually intended by God for food, with a special treat of sodas. No forks, they ran out. Finish the afternoon workshop. Walk down to catch a taxi.Wait for a taxi, decide it isn’t coming and walk to a better spot. Catch a taxi, ride back to Kampala, walk a few blocks through rush hour traffic, catch another taxi, which runs out of gas. On the plus side we drove past the Cuban and Algerian embassies. Very nic. Wait for one of our hosts to come pick us up in FRM’s vehicle. Cram 9 people into a car designed to fit 5. This saves us the mile walk uphill. Get home. Wander about. Eat dinner and debrief. Find out the schedule for tomorrow. Mess around for an hour or so. Go to sleep.
Pretty much that sums it up. What we actually do during the day changed, obviously, but they pretty much go the same way. So, yeah, there you have it.
The grass is still growing. It might need to be mowed soon.
Not So Fast 
Well, get mowing then. 🙂 When we go to Cuba we always have to remember “Blessed are the flexible”. Everything is on Cuban time. Sounds like it is the same way there. Good to hear that everyone is doing well.
Yes, hang in there. People like you wielding love will do more to change the world than entire armies with rifles.
ain’t missions fun?
Your cats miss you, they are turning wild. I will try to keep them from eating each other but no promises. Your bushes will also need trimming this spring, for five dollars I may help. Hurry and come home, you are missed!
You’re missed very much…..Isis loves me but Piper is keeping her distance. I’m glad you’re having a great time..there is much prayer going up for all of you. There is a Ron Miller sighting this weekend at NCC..Wes Bently tomorrow I think.
I’m upset I have to find a Bunko partner…first time in three years!!!!
Enjoy the rest of your “mission” trip. Suffering for Jesus, can you identify with the apostle Paul yet?
hurry home.
So good to hear how things are going in Uganda! Resurrection Sunday wasn’t the same w/out you. Come to think of it sound checks haven’t been the same w/out you. Saw Ron Miller Friday Night. Mike & i back slid to the Joe so we missed Wes. Totally Bummed. Pray your time is blessing & you’re blessed by those you minister to. Give the kids kisses & hugs from us! We miss you, but are so excited to see & hear what GOD is doing! Pressing on to know our GOD!!!
great
