A Great Preview

Our team had the privilege to have dessert with two native Ugandans this past Wednesday night, nicknamed "Godffrey" and "Dennis." You could immediately sense their humility, and their light-heartedness proved to be contagious to all who were present. They spoke of their country with great longing in their voices, and we were surprised to hear certain details of Uganda like the following:

-Many Ugandans grow up in church, but not many seem to have genuine faith.

-Most would like to own a Bible, but cannot due to its cost (the equivalent of 2 weeks worth of food).

-"Ugandans love to hear the Gospel," and are always open to new ideas.

-Ugandan women will often kneel onto both knees when serving food to you.

-Walking and eating at the same time is culturally unsound.

-Instead of nodding their heads in a conversation, Ugandans tend to raise their eyebrows up and down instead.

-The country currently has nation-wide electricity shortages due to a 3-year drought in their main hydro-electric dam.

And a big thanks to Ben Gallant for driving these guys down from Birmingham to meet us! Our team was invited to visit them in B'ham when we return to discuss our trip--I know we'll have quite a few stories to share!
