We made it!

Okay. So we all made it safe and sound. One bag is MIA (missing in action).

We got into Entebbe around 1 AM today, Saturday, after a delayed flight from Montgomery and a long delay in Kigali, Rwanda.

Aaron broke a seat tray on a plane.

Emily gave a ten euro note for 6.80 bill and didn't know what to do when the cashier told her she needed another 10.00 note. She responded: "What does that mean? I'm just American..." Everyone in line laughed at her.

The baby behind Rome on the plane cried for three hours straight.

Spencer had an "accident"... plumbing related...

...

And now it's time to eat! More to come another time.

Flight in less than 18 hours!!!

Well, everyone is packing up and getting ready to head out to Uganda. We sure do have an interesting team this year, not what I'm used to from previous years, what with not having Matt Phillips or Chris Goodman or Jeremy Short spearheading evangelism. I guess that means I'll have to exercise faith in trusting God that He is bigger than my own deficiencies in evangelism ability and technique; that He is able with all that is available; that what we may lack does not cripple His plan. Imagine that, having to actually trust God in faith.

I look forward to the trip and seeing all that God may do in us, through us, and to us.

Grace and peace in the Lord Jesus Christ,

- Matt W.

A WEEK AWAY!

We are gearing up to head out next week for our two week adventure in Kajjansi, Uganda. We're not heading back to Kagedi this time... but maybe next time if circumstances can work out.

Last Sunday we only had 81% of our necessary funds in - so if you'd like to give or have the time to pray for our funding, that would be much appreciated.

Some other things you can pray for us would be:

• team unity
• courage to step out in faith and talk to people, both on the plane and obviously while we are there; that we would not shrink back from talking with people, but would make wise use of every opportunity we are in (something to pray for us not only while we are away, but while we are here)
• that our hearts would be open to learn what God would have us learn while we are on our trip
• that the people we encounter in Kajjansi would be receptive to the Gospel message, even from inadequate speakers and spoiled Americans such as us
• there will be a children's VBS, please pray for that
• we will have a mini-soccer tournament, that is also something to pray for
• and pray for Dave and Darlene Eby, whom we will be staying with during our trip, that we would be a blessing to them, and they to us
