The Big Move

Last week, while saying goodbye to everyone we know and love in the US, we felt extremely loved. Thanks to everyone who blessed us during this transition. You've made it a great one (and quite a bit sad - we miss you already!)

We spent our first two days in Africa shopping for household necessities (bed, carpets, bug nets, refrigerator, etc). Coupled with the 10 hour jet lag, this effectively wore us out. Our house is bigger than we originally thought, with two large bedrooms and a good sized kitchen, dining, and living room. No sinks or toilets in the house, but we do have running (dripping) water for the shower. Praise the Lord for cold water in a hot climate. We're happy to have our own place, and we'll even have internet installed on our phone line in the next few days.

Right now, we're in SE Uganda in a small village called Kapchorwa assisting with an evangelistic crusade. Brent is teaching in the mornings at the seminars, and our landlord (Drake Kanaabo) is preaching in the evenings.

We're running low on internet cafe time, so we'll post more later (with pictures). Please keep praying for souls here in Kapchorwa, and that the local churches here would have grace to bring them to full maturity in Christ.

Over and out.

Good to hear from you guys...hope you had a great Thanksgiving! We had the annual Risk game till the wee hours of the morning (or at least that it what I hear, I finally went to bed). It wasn't the same without you guys though. Maybe you should come home next year to play with us!

Internet in your home? Are you guys even missionaries? I guess the lack of plumbing makes up for it...

Praise the Lord for the internet! Who needs a toilet when you have a computer and internet. I am trying to be more thankful and that is my minute by minute thankfulness. Updates to come.

In His Name
