We have now been back in Uganda just over a week. Several people have asked how the trip and
re-entry into Uganga went, so here is a summary.
Our flight from LA to Dubai went well. Neither Benjamin nor Gabby slept on the 16-hour
flight. Instead, Benjamin watched a
bunch of episodes from the TV show Flash, and Gabby watched all of the Star
Wars movies back to back. We and all our
luggage arrived safely in Entebbe.
We found the house nicely in order. As expected, there was a thick layer of African
dust everywhere. To clean the floor, we swept
it once and mopped it three times. It
really needed a fourth mopping, but we got too tired. The only real surprise was finding a clothes
closet full of mold from the high humidity here. We had to throw out a few clothing items and
wash the closet’s inside.
The church gave us all a warm welcome when we worship there
last Sunday. It was wonderful to see our
friends.
On February 1st we started a 40-day period of
fasting and praying. We’ll focus on praying
for our ministry and what God has for us.
I am helping the Bible college prepare for the upcoming
semester. Lily homeschooling the kids
and is looking for a ladies’ Bible study in our area of Kampala. Benjamin will be starting a high school youth
group next Friday. Gabriella is happy to
be back with her dogs. We are in regular
communication with Joseph (back at Biola) via Skype and internet texting.
More updates to follow.
Thank you for your prayer and financial support of us serving in Uganda.
