On the Ground…Finally!

It is Day 1 of the latest adventure in Uganda. It is a long day, since technically the “day” began at 6:30pm on Tuesday and will not end until probably about 9:00pm tonight (Thursday). The team is amazing so far, not one fuss over the 9.5 hour drive to Manassas, Virginia. Not one cross word over the nearly two hour wait at the check-in counter at Ethiopian Airlines. Not a complaint over the 13 hour non-stop first leg of our flight to Ethiopia (and then more flying to Uganda). I have high hopes for this team. This afternoon we will arrive in Entebbe. We will travel to the Emmaus house, shower and await the arrival of our supplies to do the clean water project beginning tomorrow. Hopefully we will get to bless our excellent co-laborers Lynn and Jan Skuza before they leave Uganda Friday, praying over them, thanking God for their faithful service to the people of Kampala. The evening is to end with our meeting with one of the local house churches for worship. I cannot think of a better way to end my first day back in this beautiful country than to participate in proclaiming the joy of the Lord with our family here.

    I’m really glad all the very young members of your team endured all that so well. What a blessing and what an amazing opportunity for them. I’m so blessed myself to have the example of Mitchell and Leslie as well as you and Michelle in my life to be an encouragement to live out my faith and not be afraid to allow that to include my children.
