we have an internet cafe close to our guest house - so hopefully I can update this more often now.
after arriving at Entebbe airport, we spend quite a while dealing with the missing luggage.
luggage update: Darlene Toews is still missing hers.
we arrived at our new 'home' - the guest house about midnight. we were all ready to sleep by that point (having a days turn to nights and our nights to days)
the next day was anything but planned.
on Saturday we attended a funeral for Christine Lwanga's brother and his wife who were murdered last week.
God, words escape.
the funeral was in Masaka, 160km out of Kampala and took us about 4 hours each way to travel, as the roads are so horrible and the traffic is so congested.
upon arriving there, we were escorted in front of about 300 people to the front of the ceremony, as special guest from Canada.
unknown to us until they called us up - as special guest missionaries we were asked to sing a song at the funeral!
more to follow. keep checking back and keep praying for us.
thanks

Hi everyone:
ReplyDeleteWent to the source of the Nile yesterday which was very interesting! Today we went to another Watoto church held in a big tent. The music was great!! Then we went to another Watoto village and had lunch with a family. They were so appreciative of having us there and liked the few gifts we took, Love to all our friends and family, Ed & Margie
