Arrival!
We landed in Entebe (spelling?) on Thursday night around 11:00pm and drove to Kampala and stayed the night. Breakfast was finished by 9am so Friday was brutal with trying to stay awake. We had quite a bit of orientation and figuring finances out. We think we have them figured out but just pray that everything can go smoothly financially because it could cause some headaches and frustration if it doesn't. I have to withdrawal the money from my account to pay the rent (African Inland Missions put the money in so I'm not paying it out of pocket) so pray that can go smoothly because we were just notified that using the ATM in Tororo does not always work. We left this morning at 6am for Tororo..We took a postal bus aka a charter bus that delievers mail all over \uganda. It was about a 6 hour drive but we crossed the \nile River!!While waiting for the bus this morning Stacy, Diana(a native coming along to Tororo with us) and I broke out some hymnal songs such as "Great Is Thy Faithfulness" so it is great to be able to worship and sing freely. Bri and Amanda have been here for the last 5 months and were here to greet us and help show us around. They are leaving on July 13 so then we will be more on our own. We have a few leisure activities that we can choose to do while here such as a safari, cliff jumping, and white water rafting so I am excited for some fun time too. It is so green over here and so beautiful! So many trees, plants, and flowers. Definately see God's beauty here in the nature. We won't see the kids until Monday at the earliest so its just relaxing today and tomorrow. The food is good so far. We have all been healthy so far besides some stuff noses at times so praise God for health so far!! Keep praying for continued health though especially as we eat more and more food prepared by the Uganda people and less by the people from AIM. I will try to get some photos up in the next week of the beauty of Uganda :)
