In the Pearl of Africa

This is our first morning in Africa at the Eby's
June 19, 2010
Good Morning!!


WE MADE IT!


We are all here, safe and sound. We got in last night and went to pick up our luggage at the baggage claim. Seven bags didn’t make it in, so JR talked to the airport about getting it in as soon as they could. Matthew and Monica came and helped us get everything loaded into the bus and then we left for the Eby’s house in Kampala. When we got in, the Eby’s gave us a snack and then we split up into our rooms. We were all able to take showers and get a good night’s sleep.
In the morning, Patrick went to the airport to check on our luggage and we retrieved five of our seven missing bags. PRAISE THE LORD! After breakfast, we met and sang together, and then Pastor Aaron gave us a short devotional about being a servant without asking for recognition or thanks in return. Now we are loading the bus back up to go to Kagadi.

P.S. We have a VERY hard time getting on the internet, so we will do our best throughout the week in keeping you updated. We hope to have more posts by tonight.
